19 * Tighten python-support and python-central dependencies of debhelper,
20 in an IMHO rather futile attempt to deal with derived distributions.
22 * Correct some incorrect instances of "v4 only" in docs. Closes: #381536
23 * dh_installinfo: Put the section madness to bed by not passing any section
24 information to install-info. Current install-info parses INFO-DIR-SECTION

54 * Conflict with python-support <= 0.5.2 and python-central <= 0.5.4.
55 * Make dh_python do nothing if debian/pycompat is found.
56 The new versions of dh_pysupport or dh_pycentral will take care of
57 everything dh_python used to do in this situation.

59 * move po4a to Build-Depends as it's run in clean.
60 * Add size test, which fails on any debhelper program of more than 150
61 lines (excluding POD). This is not a joke, and 100 lines would be better.
62 * Add size test exception for dh_python, since it's deprecated.

83 * Non-maintainer upload.
85 - vastly refactored, easier to understand, and the difference
86 between old policy and new policy is easier to grasp
87 - it supports an -X option which can be used to not scan some files
88 - uses debian/pyversions as reference source of information for
89 dependencies but also parse the XS-Python-Version header as fallback.
90 - ${python:Versions}'s default value is XS-Python-Version's value
91 instead of "all" when the package doesn't depend on a
92 specific python version. Closes: #373853
93 - always generate ${python:Provides} and leave the responsibility to the
94 maintainer to not use ${python:Provides} if he doesn't want the
96 - uses debian/pycompat or DH_PYCOMPAT as reference field to run in new
97 policy mode. The presence of XS-Python-Version will also trigger the
98 new policy mode (this is for short-term compatibility, it may be removed in
99 the not too-distant future).
100 DH_PYCOMPAT=1 is the default mode and is compatible to the old policy.
101 DH_PYCOMPAT=2 is the new mode and is compatible with the new policy.
102 * Use "grep ^Version:" instead of "grep Version:" on the output of
103 dpkg-parsechangelog since the above changelog entry matched "Version:" and
104 thus made the build fail.

137 the new form of architecture wildcarding which allows use of things
138 like "linux-any" and "any-i386" in the Architecture field. Closes: #371082

322 as foo/svn.vim. (It's safe to do this now that all uses of EXCLUDE_FIND are

478 the switch as soon as this version reaches testing.

1800 * dh_movefiles has long been a sore point in debhelper. Inherited
1801 from debstd, its interface and implementation suck, and I have maintained
1802 it while never really deigning to use it. Now there is a remplacment:
1803 dh_install, which ...
1804 - copies files, doesn't move them. Closes: #75360, #82649
1805 - doesn't have that whole annoying debian/package.files vs. debian/files
1806 mess, as it uses debian/install.
1807 - supports copying empty subdirs. Closes: #133037
1808 - doesn't use tar, thus no error reproting problems. Closes: #112538
1809 - files are listed relative to the pwd, debian/tmp need not be used at
1810 all, so no globbing issues. Closes: #100404
1811 - supports -X. Closes: #116902
1812 - the whole concept of moving files out of a directory is gone, so this
1813 bug doesn't really apply. Closes: #120026
1814 - This is exactly what Bill Allombert asked for in #117383, even though I
1815 designed it seemingly independantly. Thank you Bill! Closes: #117383
1816 * Made debhelper's debian/rules a lot simpler by means of the above.
1817 * Updated example rules file to use dh_install. Also some reordering and
1818 other minor changes.
1819 * dh_movefiles is lightly deprecated, and when you run into its bugs and
1820 bad design, you are incouraged to just use dh_install instead.
1821 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in bin/ dirs +x. Closes: #119039
1822 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in etc/init.d executable (of
1823 course there's -X ..)
1824 * dh_link: in v4 only, finds existing, non-policy-conformant symlinks
1825 and corrects them. This has the side effect of making dh_link idempotent.
1826 * Added a -h/--help option. This seems very obvious, but it never occured to
1828 * use v4 for building debhelper itself
1829 * v4 mode is done, you may now use it without fear of it changing.
1830 (This idea of this upload is to get v4 into woody so people won't run into
1831 many issues backporting from sarge to woody later on. Packages targeted
1832 for woody should continue to use whatever compatability level they are

1876 * Thanks to Benjamin Drieu <benj@debian.org>, dh_installdocs -X now works.
1877 I had to modify his patch to use cp --parents, since -P spews warnings
1878 now. Also, I made it continue to use cp -a if nothing is excluded,
1879 which is both faster, and means this patch is less likely to break
1880 anything if it turns out to be buggy. Also, stylistic changes.

1907 debhelper (3.4.4) unstable; urgency=low
1909 * Introduced the debian/compat file. This is the new, preferred way to say
1910 what debhelper compatability level your package uses. It has the big
1911 advantage of being available to debhelper when you run it at the command
1912 line, as well as in debian/rules.
1913 * A new v4 feature: dh_installinit, in v4 mode, will use invoke-rc.d.
1914 This is in v4 for testing, but I may well roll it back into v3 (and
1915 earlier) once woody is released and I don't have to worry about breaking
1916 things (and, presumably, once invoke-rc.d enters policy).
1917 * Some debhelper commands will now build up a new substvars variable,
1918 ${misc:Depends}, based on things they know your package needs to depend
1919 on. For example, dh_installinit in v4 mode adds sysvinit (>= 2.80-1) to
1920 that dep list, and dh_installxfonts adds a dep on xutils. This variable
1921 should make it easier to keep track of what your package needs to depends
1922 on, supplimenting the ${shlibs:Depends} and ${perl:Depends} substvars.
1923 Hmm, this appears to be based loosely on an idea by Masato Taruishi
1924 <taru@debian.org>, filtered through a long period of mulling it over.
1926 * Use the addsubstvar function I wrote for the above in dh_perl too.

1944 postinst will avoid running program that arn't available. Closes: #131053
1945 - Use update-fonts-dir instead of handling encodings ourselves. Yay!
1946 - Pass only the last component of the directory name to

1961 * Began work on v4 support (and thus the large version number jump), and it
1962 is only for the very brave right now since I will unhesitatingly break
1963 compatability in v4 mode as I'm developing it. Currently, updating to v4
1964 mode will only make dh_makeshlibs -V generate shared library deps that
1965 omit the debian part of the version number. The reasoning behind this
1966 change is that the debian revision should not typically break binary
1967 compatability, that existing use of -V is causing too tight versioned
1968 deps, and that if you do need to include the debian revision for some
1969 reason, you can always write it out by hand. Closes: #101497

2143 debhelper (3.0.30) unstable; urgency=low
2145 * dh_gencontrol: Added a documented interface for specifying substvars
2146 data in a file. Substvars data may be put in debian/package.substvars.
2147 (Those files used to be used by debhelper for automatically generated
2148 data, but it uses a different internal filename now). It will be merged
2149 with any automatically determined substvars data. See bug #98819
2150 * I want to stress that no one should ever rely in internal, undocumented
2151 debhelper workings. Just because debhelper uses a certian name for some
2152 internally used file does not mean that you should feel free to modify
2153 that file to your own ends in a debian package. If you do use it, don't
2154 be at all suprised when it breaks. If you find that debhelper is lacking
2155 a documented interface for something that you need, ask for it!
2156 (debhelper's undocumented, internal use only files should now all be
2157 prefixed with ".debhelper")

2175 debhelper (3.0.27) unstable; urgency=low
2177 * Fixed issues with extended parameters to dh_gencontrol including spaces
2178 and quotes. This was some histirical cruft that deals with splitting up
2179 the string specified by -u, and it should not have applied to the set
2180 of options after --. Now that it's fixed, any and all programs that
2181 support a -- and options after it, do not require any special quoting
2182 of the succeeding options. Quote just like you would in whatever
2183 program those options go to. So, for example,
2184 dh_gencontrol -Vblah:Depends='foo, bar (>= 1.2)' will work just as you
2185 would hope. This fix does NOT apply to -u; don't use -u if you must do
2186 something complex. Closes: #89311

2220 LD_LIBRARY_PATH. (blah) Closes: #97494

2324 I hate this, and wish it wasn't necessary to make cross compiles for
2325 the hurd work. Closes: #88494
2326 * Now depends on debconf-utils for debconf-mergetemplates. Closes: #87321
2327 * Continues to depend on lynx for html changelog conversions. Yes, these
2328 and packages with translated debconf templates are rather rare, but
2329 it makes more sense for debhelper to consistently depend on all utilities
2330 it uses internally rather than force people to keep their dependancies
2331 up to date with debhelper internals. If I decide tomorrow that w3m is
2332 the better program to use to format html changelogs, I can make the
2333 change and packages don't need to update their build dependancies.
2334 Closes: #88464, #77743
2335 * Test for init scripts before running them, since they are conffiles and
2336 the admin may have removed them for some reason, and policy wants
2337 us to deal with that gracefully.

2387 debhelper (3.0.0) unstable; urgency=low
2389 * Added dh_installman, a new program that replaces dh_installmanpages.
2390 It is not DWIM. You tell it what to install and it figures out where
2391 based on .TH section field and filename extention. I reccommend everyone
2392 begin using it, since this is much better then dh_installmanpages's
2393 evilness. I've been meaning to do this for a very long time..
2394 Closes: #38673, #53964, #64297, #16933, #17061, #54059, #54373, #61816
2395 * dh_installmanpages remains in the package for backwards compatability,
2396 but is mildly deprecated.
2397 * dh_testversion is deprecated; use build dependancies instead.
2398 * dh_suidregister: re-enabled. Aj thinks that requiring people to stop
2399 using it is unacceptable. Who am I to disagree with a rc bug report?
2400 Closes: #84910 It is still deprecated, and it will still whine at you
2401 if you use it. I appreciate the job everyone has been doing at
2402 switching to statoverrides..
2403 * Since dh_debstd requires dh_installmanpages (where do you think the
2404 latter's evil interface came from?), I have removed it. It was a nice
2405 thought-toy, but nobody really used it, right?
2406 * Since the from-debstd document walks the maintainer through running
2407 dh_debstd to get a list of debhelper commands, and since that document
2408 has really outlives its usefullness, I removed it too. Use dh-make
2410 * dh_installman installs only into /usr/share/man, not the X11R6
2411 directory. Policy says "files must not be installed into
2412 `/usr/X11R6/bin/', `/usr/X11R6/lib/', or `/usr/X11R6/man/' unless this
2413 is necessary for the package to operate properly", and I really doubt
2414 a man page being in /usr/share/man is going to break many programs.
2415 Closes: #81853 (I hope the bug submitter doesn't care that
2416 dh_installmanpages still puts stuff in the X11R6/man directory.)
2417 * dh_undocumented now the same too now.
2418 * dh_installinit: installs debian/package.default files as /etc/default/
2420 * Updated to current perl coding standards (use strict, lower-case
2421 variable names, pod man pages).
2422 * Since with the fixing of the man page installer issue, my checklist for
2423 debhelper v3 is complete, I pronounce debhelper v3 done! Revved the
2424 version number appropriatly (a large jump; v3 changes less than I had
2425 planned). Note that I have no plans for a v4 at this time. :-)
2426 * Testing: I have used this new version of debhelper to build a large
2427 number of my own packages, and it seems to work. But this release
2428 touches every file in this package, so be careful out there..

2500 to a program that previously used suidmanager, though, you need to
2501 conflict with suidmanager (<< 0.50).

2591 * DH_COMPAT=3 now enables the following new features which I can't just
2592 turn on by default for fear of breaking backwards compatability:
2593 - dh_makeshlibs makes the postinst/postrm call ldconfig. Closes: #77154
2594 Patch from Masato Taruishi <taru@debian.org> (modified). If you
2595 use this, be sure dh_makeshlibs runs before dh_installdeb; many
2596 old rules files have the ordering backwards.
2597 - dh_installdeb now causes all files in /etc to be registered as
2599 - debian/README is now supported: it is treated exactly like
2600 debian/README.Debian. Either file is installed as README.Debian in
2601 non-native packages, and now as just README in native packages.
2603 * This is really only the start of the changes for v3, so use with
2605 * dh_du has finally been removed. It has been deprecated for ages, and
2606 a grep of the archive shows that nothing is using it except biss-awt
2607 and scsh. I filed bugs on both almost exactly a year ago. Those bugs
2608 should now be raised to severity important..
2609 * --number option (to dh_installemacsen) is removed. It has been
2610 deprecated for a while and nothing uses it. Use --priority instead.

2652 major version in their filenames. However, it cannot guess the major

2669 from dh_shlibdeps; dpkg-shlibdeps has its own much more brutal hack to

2844 * I started work on debhelper v2 over a year ago, with a long list of
2845 changes I hoped to get in that broke backwards compatability. That
2846 development stalled after only the most important change was made,
2847 although I did get out over 100 releases in the debhelper 2.0.x tree.
2848 In the meantime, lots of packages have switched to using v2, despite my
2849 warnings that doing so leaves packages open to being broken without
2850 notice until v2 is complete.
2851 * Therefore, I am calling v2 complete, as it is. Future non-compatabile
2852 changes will happen in v3, which will be started soon. This means that
2853 by using debhelper v2, one major thing changes: debhelper uses
2854 debian/<package> as the temporary directory for *all* packages;
2855 debian/tmp is no longer used to build binary packages out of. This is
2856 very useful for multi-binary packages, and I reccommend everyone
2858 * Updated example rules files to use v2 by default.
2859 * Updated all documentation to assume that v2 is being used.
2860 * Added a few notes for people still using v1.

3069 * dh_suidregister: Fixed a rather esoteric bug: If a file had multiple
3070 hard links, and was suid, suidregister detected all the hard links as
3071 files that need to be registered. It looped, registering the first
3072 link, and then removing its suid bit. This messed up the registration
3073 of the other had links, since their permissions were now changed,
3074 leading to unpredictable results. The fix is to just not remove suid
3075 bits until all files have been registered.

3081 * dh_installmanpages:
3082 - Added support for translated man pages, with a patch from Kis Gergely
3083 <kisg@lme.linux.hu>. Closes: #51268
3084 - Fixed the undefined value problem in Kis's patch.
3085 - This also Closes: #37092 come to think of it.
3086 * dh_shlibdeps, dh_shlibdeps.1:
3087 - Added -X option, which makes it not examine some files. This is
3088 useful in rare cases. Closes: #51100
3089 - Always pass "-dDepends" before the list of files, which makes it
3090 easier to specify other -d parameters in the uparams, and doesn't
3091 otherwise change the result at all.
3093 - dh_installdebfiles is no longer a part of debhelper. This affects
3094 exactly one package in unstable, biss-awt, which has had a bug filed
3095 against it for 200+ days now asking that it stop using the program.
3096 dh_installdebfiles has been depreacted for nearly 2 years now..

3113 html changelog, it installs it as changelog.html.gz and dumps a plain
3114 text version to changelog.gz. The dumping is done with lynx.
3116 * Dh_Getopt.pm: Modified it so any options specified after -- are added to
3117 U_PARAMS. This means that instead of passing '-u"something nasty"' to
3118 dh_gencontrol and the like, you can pass '-- something nasty' without
3119 fiddling to get the quoting right, etc.

3212 * Added new dh_installxfonts script by Changwoo Ryu
3213 <cwryu@dor17988.kaist.ac.kr>. Closes: #46684
3214 I made some changes, though:
3215 - I rewrote lots of this script to be more my style of perl.
3216 - I removed all the verbisity from the postinst script fragment, since
3217 that is a clear violation of policy.
3218 - I made the postinst fail if the mkfontdir, etc commands fail, because
3219 this really makes more sense. Consider idempotency.
3220 - I moved the test to see if the font dir is really a directory into the
3221 dh_ script and out of the snippet. If the maintainer plays tricks on
3222 us, mkfontdir will blow up satisfactorally anyway.
3223 - So, the snippet is 9 lines long now, down from 20-some.
3224 - I realize this isn't following the reccommendations made in Brando^Hen's
3225 font policy. I'll fight it out with him. :-)
3226 - In postrm fragment, used rmdir -p to remove as many parent directories
3228 - s:/usr/lib/X11/:/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/:g

3271 run. Make tries to be too smart. Modified the file so it will work,
3272 though it's now uglier. Closes: 46287
3273 * examples/*: It's important that one -not- use a install-stamp target.
3274 Install should run every time binary-* calls it. Otherwise if a binary-*

3393 dh_installmanpages needed a non-obvious change though.
3394 * Closes: #42489, #42587, #41732.
3395 * dh_installdocs: Adds code to postinst and prerm as specified in
3396 http://www.debian.org/Lists-Archives/debian-ctte-9908/msg00038.html,
3397 to make /usr/doc/<package> a compatability symlink to
3398 /usr/share/doc/<package>. Note that currently if something exists in
3399 /usr/doc/<package> when the postinst is run, it will silently not make
3400 the symlink. I'm considering more intellingent handing of this case.
3401 * Note that if you build a package with this version of debhelper, it will
3402 use /usr/share/man, /usr/share/doc, and /usr/share/info. You may need to
3403 modify other files in your package that reference the old locations.

3413 * debhelper.1: mentioned above technique.
3414 * examples/rules.multi: use the above method to get rid of -i's and -a's.
3415 * examples/rules.multi2: new file, example of a multi-binary package that

3418 targets. It accomplishes all this using only one list of debhelper

3549 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Fri, 9 Jul 1999 13:07:49 -0700
3551 debhelper (2.0.12) unstable; urgency=low
3553 * dh_installinfo: fixed #SECTION# substitution.
3555 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Wed, 7 Jul 1999 17:51:59 -0700
3557 debhelper (2.0.11) unstable; urgency=low
3559 * At long, long last, dh_installinfo is written. It takes a simple list of
3560 info files and figures out the rest for you. (Closes: #15717)
3562 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Wed, 7 Jul 1999 17:04:48 -0700
3564 debhelper (2.0.10) unstable; urgency=low
3566 * dh_compress: compress changelog.html files. (Closes: #40626)
3567 * dh_installchangelogs: installs a link from changelog.html.gz to changelog.gz,
3568 because I think it's important that upstream changelogs always be accessable
3570 * dh_compress: removed the usr/share/X11R6/man bit. Note part of FHS.
3572 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Wed, 7 Jul 1999 10:46:03 -0700
3574 debhelper (2.0.09) unstable; urgency=low
3576 * dh_compress: added some FHS support. Though debhelper doesn't put stuff
3577 there (and won't until people come up with a general transition strategy or
3578 decide to not have a clean transiotion), dh_compress now compresses
3579 various files in /usr/share/{man,doc,info}. (Closes: #40892)

3583 debhelper (2.0.08) unstable; urgency=low
3585 * dh_*: redirect cd output to /den/null, because CD can actually output
3586 things if CDPATH is set.
3588 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Tue, 6 Jul 1999 10:14:00 -0700
3590 debhelper (2.0.07) unstable; urgency=low
3592 * Added dh_perl calls to example rules files.
3594 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Sun, 4 Jul 1999 15:57:51 -0700
3596 debhelper (2.0.06) unstable; urgency=low
3598 * Now depends on perl5 | perl, I'll kill the | perl bit later on, but it
3599 seems to make sense for the transition.

3603 debhelper (2.0.05) unstable; urgency=low
3605 * dh_clean: clean debian/tmp even if v2 is being used. If you're
3606 using dh_movefiles, stuff may well be left in there, and it needs to be

3611 debhelper (2.0.04) unstable; urgency=low
3613 * Patch from Raphael Hertzog <rhertzog@hrnet.fr> to make dh_perl support a
3614 -d flag that makes it add a dependancy on the sppropriate perl-XXX-base
3615 package. Few packages will really need this. (Closes: #40631)
3617 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Fri, 2 Jul 1999 11:22:00 -0700
3619 debhelper (2.0.03) unstable; urgency=low
3621 * Depend on file >= 2.23-1, because dh_perl uses file -b, introduced at
3622 that version. (Closes: #40589)
3624 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Thu, 1 Jul 1999 14:41:12 -0700
3626 debhelper (2.0.02) unstable; urgency=low
3628 * If you're going to use v2, it's reccommended you call
3629 "dh_testversion 2". Added a note about that to doc/v2.
3630 * Dh_Lib.pm compat: if a version that is greater than the highest
3631 supported compatability level is specified, abort with an error. Perhaps
3632 there will be a debhelper v3 some day...
3634 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Thu, 1 Jul 1999 14:08:14 -0700
3636 debhelper (2.0.01) unstable; urgency=low
3638 * Actually include doc/v2 this time round.
3640 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Thu, 1 Jul 1999 14:01:55 -0700
3642 debhelper (2.0.00) unstable; urgency=low
3644 * Don't let the version number fool you. Debhelper v2 is here, but just
3645 barely. That's what all the zero's mean. :-)
3646 * If DH_COMPAT=2, then debian/<package> will be used for the temporary
3647 build directory for all packages. debian/tmp is no more! (Well, except
3648 dh_movefiles still uses it.)
3649 * debhelper.1: documented this.
3650 * Dh_lib.pm: added compat(), pass in a number, it returns true if the
3651 current compatability level is equal to that number.
3652 * doc/PROGRAMMING: documented that.
3653 * debhelper itself now builds using DH_COMPAT=2.
3654 * dh_debstd forces DH_COMPAT=1, because it needs to stay compatable with
3657 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Thu, 1 Jul 1999 13:37:58 -0700
3659 debhelper (1.9.00) unstable; urgency=low
3661 * This is a release of debhelper in preparation for debhelper v2.
3662 * doc/v2: added, documented status of v2 changes.
3663 * README: mention doc/v2
3664 * debhelper.1: docuimented DH_COMPAT
3665 * examples/*: added DH_COMAPT=1 to top of rules files
3667 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Thu, 1 Jul 1999 13:16:41 -0700
3669 debhelper (1.2.83) unstable; urgency=medium
3671 * dh_perl: fixed substvars typo. Urgency medium since a lot of people will
3672 be using this script RSN.
3674 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Thu, 1 Jul 1999 11:44:05 -0700
3676 debhelper (1.2.82) unstable; urgency=low
3678 * dh_installinit: applied patch from Yann Dirson <ydirson@multimania.com>
3679 to make it look for init.d scripts matching the --init-script parameter.
3680 This is only useful if, like Yann, you have packages that need to install
3681 more than 1 init script.
3683 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Fri, 25 Jun 1999 11:38:05 -0700
3685 debhelper (1.2.81) unstable; urgency=low
3687 * dh_link: fixed bug #40159 and added a regression test for it. It was
3688 failing if it was given absolute filenames.
3690 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Fri, 25 Jun 1999 10:12:44 -0700
3692 debhelper (1.2.80) unstable; urgency=low
3694 * Changed perl version detection.
3695 * Changed call to find.
3697 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Thu, 24 Jun 1999 16:48:53 -0700
3699 debhelper (1.2.79) unstable; urgency=low
3701 * Added dh_perl by Raphael Hertzog <rhertzog@hrnet.fr>. dh_perl handles
3702 finding dependancies of perl scripts, plus deleting those annoying
3704 * I don't think dh_perl is going to be useful until the new version of

3709 debhelper (1.2.78) unstable; urgency=low
3711 * Really include dh_installpam.
3713 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Tue, 15 Jun 1999 09:00:36 -0700
3715 debhelper (1.2.77) unstable; urgency=low
3717 * dh_installpam: new program by Sean <shaleh@foo.livenet.net>
3718 * Wrote man page for same.
3720 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Fri, 11 Jun 1999 13:08:04 -0700
3722 debhelper (1.2.76) unstable; urgency=low
3724 * dh_fixperms: Do not use chmod/chown -R at all anymore, instead it uses
3725 the (slower) find then chown method. Necessary because the -R methods will
3726 happyily attempt to chown a dangling symlink, which makes them fail.
3729 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Mon, 7 Jun 1999 20:20:01 -0700
3731 debhelper (1.2.75) unstable; urgency=low
3733 * dh_installemacsen: fixed perms of install, remove scripts.
3736 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Mon, 7 Jun 1999 14:42:12 -0700
3738 debhelper (1.2.74) unstable; urgency=low
3740 * dh_installmanpages: recognizes gzipped man pages and installs them.
3741 This is an experimental change, one problem is if your man page isn't
3742 already gzip-9'd, it will be in violation of policy. (closes: #38673)
3743 * The previous fix to dh_installemacsen was actually quite necessary - the
3744 x bit was being set!
3746 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Thu, 3 Jun 1999 15:14:27 -0700
3748 debhelper (1.2.73) unstable; urgency=low
3750 * dh_installemacsen: make sure files are installed mode 0644. Not strictly
3751 necessary since dh_fixperms fixes them if you have a wacky umask, but oh
3752 well. (Closes: 38900)
3754 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Thu, 3 Jun 1999 14:50:42 -0700
3756 debhelper (1.2.72) unstable; urgency=low
3758 * dh_installemacsen: use debian/package.emacsen-startup, not
3759 debian/package.emacsen-init. The former has always been documented to
3760 work on the man page (closes: #38898).
3762 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Thu, 3 Jun 1999 14:16:57 -0700
3764 debhelper (1.2.71) unstable; urgency=low
3766 * Fixed a typo (closes: #38881)

3770 debhelper (1.2.70) unstable; urgency=low
3772 * dh_installmanpages: Properly quoted metacharacters in $dir in regexp.

3777 debhelper (1.2.69) unstable; urgency=low
3779 * Don't include Test.pm in the binary package.
3781 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Sun, 23 May 1999 19:29:27 -0700
3783 debhelper (1.2.68) unstable; urgency=low
3785 * doc/README: updated example of using #DEBHELPER# in a perl script, with
3786 help from Julian Gilbey.
3787 * dh_link: generate absolute symlinks where appropriate. The links
3788 generated before were wrong simetimes (#37774)
3789 * Started writing a regression test suite for debhelper. Currently covers
3790 only the above bugfix and a few more dh_link tests.
3791 * Tossed Test.pm into the package (for regression tests) until we get perl
3792 5.005 which contains that package. That file is licenced the same as perl.
3793 * dh_installchangelogs: force all installed files to be owned by root

3798 debhelper (1.2.67) unstable; urgency=low
3800 * dh_installmodules: fixed type that made the program not work.

3804 debhelper (1.2.66) unstable; urgency=low
3806 * examples/rules.multi: dh_shlibdeps must be run before dh_gencontrol

3817 debhelper (1.2.64) unstable; urgency=low
3819 * dh_installmime: new command (#37093, #32684).

3823 debhelper (1.2.63) unstable; urgency=low
3825 * dh_installxaw: updated to work with xaw-wrappers 0.90 and above. It
3826 actually has to partially parse the xaw-wrappers config files now.
3828 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Sun, 2 May 1999 19:13:34 -0700
3830 debhelper (1.2.62) unstable; urgency=low
3832 * dh_installemacsen: added support for site-start files. Added --flavor
3833 and --number to control details of installation. (#36832)

3837 debhelper (1.2.61) unstable; urgency=low
3839 * dh_md5sums.1: dh_md5sums is not deprecated, AFAIK, but the manpage has
3840 somehow been modified to say it was at version 1.2.45.

3844 debhelper (1.2.60) unstable; urgency=low
3846 * dh_installexamples.1: recycled docs fix.

3850 debhelper (1.2.59) unstable; urgency=low
3852 * dh_builddeb: added --destdir option, which lets you tell it where
3853 to put the generated .deb's. Default is .. of course.

3869 debhelper (1.2.56) unstable; urgency=low
3871 * dh_suidregister: make the chown/chmod only happen if the file actually
3872 exists. This is useful if you have conffiles that have permissions and
3873 may be deleted. (#35845)

3877 debhelper (1.2.55) unstable; urgency=low
3879 * Various man page enhancements.

3885 debhelper (1.2.54) unstable; urgency=low
3887 * dh_installinit.1: man page fixups (#34160).
3888 * *.1: the date of each man page is now automatically updated when
3889 debhelper is built to be the last modification time of the man page.

3893 debhelper (1.2.53) unstable; urgency=low
3895 * dh_compress: leave .taz and .tgz files alone. Previously trying to
3896 compress such files caused gzip to fail and the whole command to fail.
3897 Probably fixes #35677. Actually, it now skips files with a whole
3898 range of odd suffixes that gzip refuses to compress, including "_z" and
3900 * dh_compress.1: updated docs to reflect this, and to give the new
3901 suggested starting point if you want to write your own debian/compress

3912 debhelper (1.2.51) unstable; urgency=low

3924 debhelper (1.2.49) unstable; urgency=low
3926 * dh_fixperms: if called with -X, was attempting to change permissions of
3927 even symlinks. This could have even caused it to follow the symlinks and
3928 modify files on the build system in some cases. Ignores them now. (#35102)

3938 debhelper (1.2.47) unstable; urgency=low

3966 debhelper (1.2.43) unstable; urgency=low
3968 * dh_compress.1: man page fixes (Closes: #33858).
3969 * dh_compress: now it can handle compressing arbitrary numbers of files,
3970 spawning gzip multiple times like xargs does, if necessary.
3972 * Dh_Lib.pm: added xargs() command.

4034 tmp dirs. (closes: #30807)

4111 * dh_fixperms: linux 2.1.x and 2.2.x differ from earlier versions in that
4112 they do not clear the suid bit on a file when the owner of that file

4139 * dh_installdocs: Added doc-base support, if debian/<package>.doc-base
4140 exists, it will be installed as a doc-base control file. If you use this,
4141 you probably want to add "dh_testversion 1.2.21" to the rules file to make
4142 sure your package is built with a new enough debhelper.

4145 suidregister actually supports it.
4146 * autoscripts/*: instead of "text -x", use "command -v" to see if various
4147 binaries exist. This gets rid of lots of hard-coded paths.

4160 * dh_listpackages: new command. Takes the standard options taken by other
4161 debhelper commands, and just outputs a list of the binary packages a
4162 debhelper command would act on. Added because of bug #30626, and because
4163 of wn's truely ugly use of debhelper internals to get the same info (and
4164 because it's just 4 lines of code ;-).
4165 * dh_compress: is now smart about compressing files that are hardlinks.

4195 I have looked and it doesn't seem this will actually affect any packages
4196 in debian. This is useful only if you want to use dh_installdocs and not

4335 will create a window where it is suid before suidmanager fixes it's

4351 (as yet unreleased) xbase. Now a new dh_installwm program handles
4352 registration of a window manager and the necessary modifications to
4353 postinst and postrm. It's safe to go ahead and start using this for your
4354 window manager packages, just note that it won't do anything until the new
4355 xbase is out, and that due to the design of register-window-manager, if
4356 your wm is installed before a xbase that supports register-window-manager
4357 is installed, the window manager will never be registered. (#20971)

4555 large chunks in the process.

4557 install many oddly named files it died on before.

4593 appropriate. Also corrected a host of little errors.

4722 * I'd like to thank Len Pikulski and Igor Grobman at nothinbut.net for
4723 providing me with free internet access on a moment's notice, so I could
4724 get this package to you after hacking on it all over New England for the
4725 past week. Thanks, guys!
4727 * Added dh_debstd, which mimics the functionality of the debstd command.
4728 It's not a complete nor an exact copy, and it's not so much intended to
4729 be used in a debian/rules file, as it is to be run by hand when you are
4730 converting a package from debstd to debhelper. "dh_debstd -v" will
4731 output the sequence of debhelper commands that approximate what debstd
4732 would do in the same situation.
4733 * dh_debstd is completly untested, I don't have the source to any packages
4734 that use debstd available. Once this is tested, I plan to release
4736 * Added a from-debstd document that gives a recipe to convert from debstd
4738 * dh_fixperms: can now use -X to exclude files from having their
4739 permissions changed.
4740 * dh_testroot: test for uid == 0, instead of username == root, becuase
4741 some people enjoy changing root's name.
4742 * dh_installinit: handle debian/init.d as well as debian/init files,
4743 for backwards compatability with debstd. Unlike with debstd, the two
4744 files are treated identically.
4745 * dh_lib, PROGRAMMING: added "warning" function.
4746 * Minor man page fixes.
4747 * dh_compress: don't bomb out if usr/doc/<package> is empty. (#23054)
4748 * dh_compress, dh_installdirs: always cd into $TMP and back out, even if
4749 --no-act is on. (#23054)

4756 * dh_compress: always pass -f to gzip, to force compression.
4757 * dh_compress: added -X switch, to make it easy to specify files to
4758 exclude, without all the bother of a debian/compress script. You can
4759 use -X multiple times, too.
4760 * PROGRAMMING, dh_getopt.pl: DH_EXCLUDE is now a variable set by the
4761 --exclude (-X) switch. -x now sets DH_INCLUDE_CONFFILES.

4785 * This is just a quick fix to make it work, I'm not happy with it. I'm
4786 going to discuss my problems with it with Che, and either make a new
4787 version fixing them, or revert to 0.83.

4819 <adam.heath@usa.net> for help on the implementation.

5072 first package listed in debian/control, if you use -p to make it act on
5073 a given package, or -i or -a.
5074 * If you take advantage of the above new behavior, I suggest you add
5075 "dh_testversion 0.50" to your debian/rules.

5159 * A side effect of this (of interest only to the debhelper programmer) is
5160 that doit() can no longer handle complex commands now. (ie, pipes, `;',
5161 `&', etc separating multiple commands, or redirection)
