192 "\\.", which turns into "\." after being run through the shell, and
193 prevents find from treating -X.svn as a regexp that matches files such
194 as foo/svn.vim. (It's safe to do this now that all uses of EXCLUDE_FIND are
195 via complex_doit(), which was not the case of dh_clean when this change

350 the switch as soon as this version reaches testing.

1672 * dh_movefiles has long been a sore point in debhelper. Inherited
1673 from debstd, its interface and implementation suck, and I have maintained
1674 it while never really deigning to use it. Now there is a remplacment:
1675 dh_install, which ...
1676 - copies files, doesn't move them. Closes: #75360, #82649
1677 - doesn't have that whole annoying debian/package.files vs. debian/files
1678 mess, as it uses debian/install.
1679 - supports copying empty subdirs. Closes: #133037
1680 - doesn't use tar, thus no error reproting problems. Closes: #112538
1681 - files are listed relative to the pwd, debian/tmp need not be used at
1682 all, so no globbing issues. Closes: #100404
1683 - supports -X. Closes: #116902
1684 - the whole concept of moving files out of a directory is gone, so this
1685 bug doesn't really apply. Closes: #120026
1686 - This is exactly what Bill Allombert asked for in #117383, even though I
1687 designed it seemingly independantly. Thank you Bill! Closes: #117383
1688 * Made debhelper's debian/rules a lot simpler by means of the above.
1689 * Updated example rules file to use dh_install. Also some reordering and
1690 other minor changes.
1691 * dh_movefiles is lightly deprecated, and when you run into its bugs and
1692 bad design, you are incouraged to just use dh_install instead.
1693 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in bin/ dirs +x. Closes: #119039
1694 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in etc/init.d executable (of
1695 course there's -X ..)
1696 * dh_link: in v4 only, finds existing, non-policy-conformant symlinks
1697 and corrects them. This has the side effect of making dh_link idempotent.
1698 * Added a -h/--help option. This seems very obvious, but it never occured to
1700 * use v4 for building debhelper itself
1701 * v4 mode is done, you may now use it without fear of it changing.
1702 (This idea of this upload is to get v4 into woody so people won't run into
1703 many issues backporting from sarge to woody later on. Packages targeted
1704 for woody should continue to use whatever compatability level they are

1748 * Thanks to Benjamin Drieu <benj@debian.org>, dh_installdocs -X now works.
1749 I had to modify his patch to use cp --parents, since -P spews warnings
1750 now. Also, I made it continue to use cp -a if nothing is excluded,
1751 which is both faster, and means this patch is less likely to break
1752 anything if it turns out to be buggy. Also, stylistic changes.

1779 debhelper (3.4.4) unstable; urgency=low
1781 * Introduced the debian/compat file. This is the new, preferred way to say
1782 what debhelper compatability level your package uses. It has the big
1783 advantage of being available to debhelper when you run it at the command
1784 line, as well as in debian/rules.
1785 * A new v4 feature: dh_installinit, in v4 mode, will use invoke-rc.d.
1786 This is in v4 for testing, but I may well roll it back into v3 (and
1787 earlier) once woody is released and I don't have to worry about breaking
1788 things (and, presumably, once invoke-rc.d enters policy).
1789 * Some debhelper commands will now build up a new substvars variable,
1790 ${misc:Depends}, based on things they know your package needs to depend
1791 on. For example, dh_installinit in v4 mode adds sysvinit (>= 2.80-1) to
1792 that dep list, and dh_installxfonts adds a dep on xutils. This variable
1793 should make it easier to keep track of what your package needs to depends
1794 on, supplimenting the ${shlibs:Depends} and ${perl:Depends} substvars.
1795 Hmm, this appears to be based loosely on an idea by Masato Taruishi
1796 <taru@debian.org>, filtered through a long period of mulling it over.
1798 * Use the addsubstvar function I wrote for the above in dh_perl too.

1831 debhelper (3.4.0) unstable; urgency=low
1833 * Began work on v4 support (and thus the large version number jump), and it
1834 is only for the very brave right now since I will unhesitatingly break
1835 compatability in v4 mode as I'm developing it. Currently, updating to v4
1836 mode will only make dh_makeshlibs -V generate shared library deps that
1837 omit the debian part of the version number. The reasoning behind this
1838 change is that the debian revision should not typically break binary
1839 compatability, that existing use of -V is causing too tight versioned
1840 deps, and that if you do need to include the debian revision for some
1841 reason, you can always write it out by hand. Closes: #101497

2049 * Fixed issues with extended parameters to dh_gencontrol including spaces
2050 and quotes. This was some histirical cruft that deals with splitting up
2051 the string specified by -u, and it should not have applied to the set
2052 of options after --. Now that it's fixed, any and all programs that
2053 support a -- and options after it, do not require any special quoting
2054 of the succeeding options. Quote just like you would in whatever
2055 program those options go to. So, for example,
2056 dh_gencontrol -Vblah:Depends='foo, bar (>= 1.2)' will work just as you
2057 would hope. This fix does NOT apply to -u; don't use -u if you must do
2058 something complex. Closes: #89311

2199 * Continues to depend on lynx for html changelog conversions. Yes, these
2200 and packages with translated debconf templates are rather rare, but
2201 it makes more sense for debhelper to consistently depend on all utilities
2202 it uses internally rather than force people to keep their dependancies
2203 up to date with debhelper internals. If I decide tomorrow that w3m is
2204 the better program to use to format html changelogs, I can make the

2261 * Added dh_installman, a new program that replaces dh_installmanpages.
2262 It is not DWIM. You tell it what to install and it figures out where
2263 based on .TH section field and filename extention. I reccommend everyone
2264 begin using it, since this is much better then dh_installmanpages's
2265 evilness. I've been meaning to do this for a very long time..
2266 Closes: #38673, #53964, #64297, #16933, #17061, #54059, #54373, #61816
2267 * dh_installmanpages remains in the package for backwards compatability,
2268 but is mildly deprecated.
2269 * dh_testversion is deprecated; use build dependancies instead.
2270 * dh_suidregister: re-enabled. Aj thinks that requiring people to stop
2271 using it is unacceptable. Who am I to disagree with a rc bug report?
2272 Closes: #84910 It is still deprecated, and it will still whine at you
2273 if you use it. I appreciate the job everyone has been doing at
2274 switching to statoverrides..
2275 * Since dh_debstd requires dh_installmanpages (where do you think the
2276 latter's evil interface came from?), I have removed it. It was a nice
2277 thought-toy, but nobody really used it, right?
2278 * Since the from-debstd document walks the maintainer through running
2279 dh_debstd to get a list of debhelper commands, and since that document
2280 has really outlives its usefullness, I removed it too. Use dh-make
2282 * dh_installman installs only into /usr/share/man, not the X11R6
2283 directory. Policy says "files must not be installed into
2284 `/usr/X11R6/bin/', `/usr/X11R6/lib/', or `/usr/X11R6/man/' unless this
2285 is necessary for the package to operate properly", and I really doubt
2286 a man page being in /usr/share/man is going to break many programs.
2287 Closes: #81853 (I hope the bug submitter doesn't care that
2288 dh_installmanpages still puts stuff in the X11R6/man directory.)
2289 * dh_undocumented now the same too now.
2290 * dh_installinit: installs debian/package.default files as /etc/default/
2292 * Updated to current perl coding standards (use strict, lower-case
2293 variable names, pod man pages).
2294 * Since with the fixing of the man page installer issue, my checklist for
2295 debhelper v3 is complete, I pronounce debhelper v3 done! Revved the
2296 version number appropriatly (a large jump; v3 changes less than I had
2297 planned). Note that I have no plans for a v4 at this time. :-)
2298 * Testing: I have used this new version of debhelper to build a large
2299 number of my own packages, and it seems to work. But this release
2300 touches every file in this package, so be careful out there..

2466 Patch from Masato Taruishi <taru@debian.org> (modified). If you

2468 old rules files have the ordering backwards.
2469 - dh_installdeb now causes all files in /etc to be registered as
2471 - debian/README is now supported: it is treated exactly like
2472 debian/README.Debian. Either file is installed as README.Debian in
2473 non-native packages, and now as just README in native packages.

2477 * dh_du has finally been removed. It has been deprecated for ages, and
2478 a grep of the archive shows that nothing is using it except biss-awt
2479 and scsh. I filed bugs on both almost exactly a year ago. Those bugs

2537 * dh_movefiles: no longer does the symlink ordering hack, as
2538 this is supported by dpkg itself now. Added a dependancy on
2539 dpkg-dev >= 1.7.0 to make sure this doesn't break anything.
2540 * While I'm updating for dpkg 1.7.0, I removed the -ldirectory hack
2541 from dh_shlibdeps; dpkg-shlibdeps has its own much more brutal hack to
2542 make this work. The switch is ignored now for backwards compatability.

2714 debhelper (2.1.0) unstable; urgency=low
2716 * I started work on debhelper v2 over a year ago, with a long list of
2717 changes I hoped to get in that broke backwards compatability. That
2718 development stalled after only the most important change was made,
2719 although I did get out over 100 releases in the debhelper 2.0.x tree.
2720 In the meantime, lots of packages have switched to using v2, despite my
2721 warnings that doing so leaves packages open to being broken without
2722 notice until v2 is complete.
2723 * Therefore, I am calling v2 complete, as it is. Future non-compatabile
2724 changes will happen in v3, which will be started soon. This means that
2725 by using debhelper v2, one major thing changes: debhelper uses
2726 debian/<package> as the temporary directory for *all* packages;
2727 debian/tmp is no longer used to build binary packages out of. This is
2728 very useful for multi-binary packages, and I reccommend everyone
2730 * Updated example rules files to use v2 by default.
2731 * Updated all documentation to assume that v2 is being used.
2732 * Added a few notes for people still using v1.

2855 dh_installwm now accepts --priority, and window manager packages should
2857 * dh_installwm now behaves like a proper debhelper command, and reads

2859 specified on the command line no longer apply to all packages it acts
2860 on. I can't belive this program existed for 2 years with such a glaring

2944 link, and then removing its suid bit. This messed up the registration
2945 of the other had links, since their permissions were now changed,
2946 leading to unpredictable results. The fix is to just not remove suid

3084 * Added new dh_installxfonts script by Changwoo Ryu
3085 <cwryu@dor17988.kaist.ac.kr>. Closes: #46684
3086 I made some changes, though:
3087 - I rewrote lots of this script to be more my style of perl.
3088 - I removed all the verbisity from the postinst script fragment, since
3089 that is a clear violation of policy.
3090 - I made the postinst fail if the mkfontdir, etc commands fail, because
3091 this really makes more sense. Consider idempotency.
3092 - I moved the test to see if the font dir is really a directory into the
3093 dh_ script and out of the snippet. If the maintainer plays tricks on
3094 us, mkfontdir will blow up satisfactorally anyway.
3095 - So, the snippet is 9 lines long now, down from 20-some.
3096 - I realize this isn't following the reccommendations made in Brando^Hen's
3097 font policy. I'll fight it out with him. :-)
3098 - In postrm fragment, used rmdir -p to remove as many parent directories
3100 - s:/usr/lib/X11/:/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/:g

3264 For the most part, this was a straight-forward substitution,
3265 dh_installmanpages needed a non-obvious change though.
3266 * Closes: #42489, #42587, #41732.
3267 * dh_installdocs: Adds code to postinst and prerm as specified in
3268 http://www.debian.org/Lists-Archives/debian-ctte-9908/msg00038.html,
3269 to make /usr/doc/<package> a compatability symlink to
3270 /usr/share/doc/<package>. Note that currently if something exists in
3271 /usr/doc/<package> when the postinst is run, it will silently not make
3272 the symlink. I'm considering more intellingent handing of this case.
3273 * Note that if you build a package with this version of debhelper, it will
3274 use /usr/share/man, /usr/share/doc, and /usr/share/info. You may need to
3275 modify other files in your package that reference the old locations.

3285 * debhelper.1: mentioned above technique.
3286 * examples/rules.multi: use the above method to get rid of -i's and -a's.
3287 * examples/rules.multi2: new file, example of a multi-binary package that
3288 works for arch-indep and arch-dependant packages, and also allows
3289 building of single binary packages independntly, via binary-<package>
3290 targets. It accomplishes all this using only one list of debhelper

3553 more than 1 init script.

4067 I have looked and it doesn't seem this will actually affect any packages

4224 registration of a window manager and the necessary modifications to
4225 postinst and postrm. It's safe to go ahead and start using this for your
4226 window manager packages, just note that it won't do anything until the new
4227 xbase is out, and that due to the design of register-window-manager, if
4228 your wm is installed before a xbase that supports register-window-manager
4229 is installed, the window manager will never be registered. (#20971)

4594 * I'd like to thank Len Pikulski and Igor Grobman at nothinbut.net for
4595 providing me with free internet access on a moment's notice, so I could
4596 get this package to you after hacking on it all over New England for the
4597 past week. Thanks, guys!
4599 * Added dh_debstd, which mimics the functionality of the debstd command.
4600 It's not a complete nor an exact copy, and it's not so much intended to
4601 be used in a debian/rules file, as it is to be run by hand when you are
4602 converting a package from debstd to debhelper. "dh_debstd -v" will
4603 output the sequence of debhelper commands that approximate what debstd
4604 would do in the same situation.
4605 * dh_debstd is completly untested, I don't have the source to any packages
4606 that use debstd available. Once this is tested, I plan to release
4608 * Added a from-debstd document that gives a recipe to convert from debstd
4610 * dh_fixperms: can now use -X to exclude files from having their
4611 permissions changed.
4612 * dh_testroot: test for uid == 0, instead of username == root, becuase
4613 some people enjoy changing root's name.
4614 * dh_installinit: handle debian/init.d as well as debian/init files,
4615 for backwards compatability with debstd. Unlike with debstd, the two
4616 files are treated identically.
4617 * dh_lib, PROGRAMMING: added "warning" function.

4630 exclude, without all the bother of a debian/compress script. You can
4631 use -X multiple times, too.
4632 * PROGRAMMING, dh_getopt.pl: DH_EXCLUDE is now a variable set by the
4633 --exclude (-X) switch. -x now sets DH_INCLUDE_CONFFILES.

5111 .SUMS, TAGS, and empty files.
5112 * dh_lib: doit(): use eval on parameters, instead of directly running

5114 commands once, and then run them seperatly.

5175 * dh_installdebfiles: fixed *bad* bug that messed up the names of all
5176 files installed into DEBIAN/ for multiple binary packages.
5177 * dh_md5sums: fixed another serious bug if dh_md5sums was used for
5178 multiple binary packages.
5179 * If you have made any multiple binary packages using debhelper, you
5180 should rebuild them with this version.

5201 * Sped up some things by removing unnecesary for loops.
5202 * dh_installdocs: behavior modifcation: if there is a debian/TODO, it is
5203 named like a debian/changelog file: if the package is a debian native
5204 package, it is installed as TODO. If the package is not a native package,
5205 it is installed as TODO.Debian.
5206 * dh_installdocs: handle debian/README.Debian as well as
5207 debian/README.debian.
5208 * Added dh_undocumented program, which can set up undocumented.7 symlinks.
5209 * Moved dh_installdebfiles to come after dh_fixperms in the example rules
5210 files. (dh_installdebfiles makes sure it installs things with the proper
5211 permissions, and this reorganization makes the file a bit more flexable
5212 in a few situations.)

5248 * Multiple binary package support.
5249 * Support for specifying exactly what set of binary packages to act on,

5251 * dh_clean: allow specification of additional files to remove as
5253 * dh_compress: fixed it to not compress doc/package/copyright
5254 * dh_installmanpage: allow listing of man pages that should not be
5255 auto-installed as parameters.
5256 * dh_installdebfiles: make sure all installed files have proper ownerships
5258 * dh_installdebfiles: only pass ELF files to dpkg-shlibdeps, and pass .so
5261 * dh_compress: changed behavior - debian/compress script is now run inside
5262 the package build directory it is to act on.
5263 * Added dh_lib symlink in debian/ so the debhelper apps used in this
5264 package's debian/rules always use the most up-to-date db_lib.
5265 * Changed dh_cleantmp commands in the examples rules files to dh_clean.
