152 * Modular object oriented dh_auto_* buildsystem support,
153 contributed by Modestas Vainius
154 - dh_auto_* --sourcedirectory can now be used to specify a source
155 directory if sources and/or the whole buildsystem lives elsewhere
156 than the top level directory. Closes: #530597
157 - dh_auto_* --builddirectory can now be used to specify a build
158 directory to use for out of source building, for build systems
159 that support it. Closes: #480577
160 - dh_auto_* --buildsystem can now be used to override the autodetected
161 build system, or force use of a third-party class.
162 - dh_auto_* --list can be used to list available and selected build
164 - Adds support for cmake.
165 - For the perl_build build system, Build is used consistently
166 instead of falling back to using the generated Makefile.
168 - Historical dh_auto_* behavior should be preserved despite these
170 * Move two more command-specific options to only be accepted by the commands
171 that use them. The options are:
172 --sourcedir, --destdir
173 If any third-party debhelper commands use either of the above options,
174 they will be broken, and need to be changed to pass options to init().
175 * Make dh not complain about unknown, command-specific options passed to it,
176 and further suppress warnings about such options it passes on to debhelper
177 commands. This was attempted incompletely before in version 7.2.17.

242 * dh_installinfo: No longer inserts install-info calls into
243 maintainer scripts, as that is now triggerized. Adds a dependency
244 via misc:Depends to handle partial upgrades. Note that while
245 dh_installinfo already required that info files had a INFO-DIR-SECTION,
246 the new system also requires they have START-INFO-DIR-ENTRY and
247 END-INFO-DIR-ENTRY for proper registration. I assume there will be
248 some mass bug filing for any packages that do not have that.

1150 specific python version. Closes: #373853

1152 maintainer to not use ${python:Provides} if he doesn't want the
1154 - uses debian/pycompat or DH_PYCOMPAT as reference field to run in new
1155 policy mode. The presence of XS-Python-Version will also trigger the
1156 new policy mode (this is for short-term compatibility, it may be removed in
1157 the not too-distant future).

1532 * debhelper v5 mode is finalised and the new recommended compatability
1533 level. Unless your package uses dh_strip --dbg-package, switching to v5
1534 is 99.999% unlikely to change anything in a package, and it allows
1535 adding comments to all your debhelper config files, so I recommend making
1536 the switch as soon as this version reaches testing.

2860 it while never really deigning to use it. Now there is a remplacment:
2861 dh_install, which ...
2862 - copies files, doesn't move them. Closes: #75360, #82649
2863 - doesn't have that whole annoying debian/package.files vs. debian/files
2864 mess, as it uses debian/install.
2865 - supports copying empty subdirs. Closes: #133037
2866 - doesn't use tar, thus no error reproting problems. Closes: #112538
2867 - files are listed relative to the pwd, debian/tmp need not be used at
2868 all, so no globbing issues. Closes: #100404
2869 - supports -X. Closes: #116902
2870 - the whole concept of moving files out of a directory is gone, so this
2871 bug doesn't really apply. Closes: #120026
2872 - This is exactly what Bill Allombert asked for in #117383, even though I
2873 designed it seemingly independantly. Thank you Bill! Closes: #117383
2874 * Made debhelper's debian/rules a lot simpler by means of the above.
2875 * Updated example rules file to use dh_install. Also some reordering and
2876 other minor changes.
2877 * dh_movefiles is lightly deprecated, and when you run into its bugs and
2878 bad design, you are incouraged to just use dh_install instead.
2879 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in bin/ dirs +x. Closes: #119039
2880 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in etc/init.d executable (of
2881 course there's -X ..)
2882 * dh_link: in v4 only, finds existing, non-policy-conformant symlinks
2883 and corrects them. This has the side effect of making dh_link idempotent.

2886 * use v4 for building debhelper itself
2887 * v4 mode is done, you may now use it without fear of it changing.

2965 debhelper (3.4.4) unstable; urgency=low
2967 * Introduced the debian/compat file. This is the new, preferred way to say
2968 what debhelper compatability level your package uses. It has the big
2969 advantage of being available to debhelper when you run it at the command
2970 line, as well as in debian/rules.
2971 * A new v4 feature: dh_installinit, in v4 mode, will use invoke-rc.d.
2972 This is in v4 for testing, but I may well roll it back into v3 (and
2973 earlier) once woody is released and I don't have to worry about breaking
2974 things (and, presumably, once invoke-rc.d enters policy).
2975 * Some debhelper commands will now build up a new substvars variable,
2976 ${misc:Depends}, based on things they know your package needs to depend
2977 on. For example, dh_installinit in v4 mode adds sysvinit (>= 2.80-1) to
2978 that dep list, and dh_installxfonts adds a dep on xutils. This variable
2979 should make it easier to keep track of what your package needs to depends
2980 on, supplimenting the ${shlibs:Depends} and ${perl:Depends} substvars.
2981 Hmm, this appears to be based loosely on an idea by Masato Taruishi
2982 <taru@debian.org>, filtered through a long period of mulling it over.
2984 * Use the addsubstvar function I wrote for the above in dh_perl too.

3019 * Began work on v4 support (and thus the large version number jump), and it
3020 is only for the very brave right now since I will unhesitatingly break
3021 compatability in v4 mode as I'm developing it. Currently, updating to v4
3022 mode will only make dh_makeshlibs -V generate shared library deps that
3023 omit the debian part of the version number. The reasoning behind this
3024 change is that the debian revision should not typically break binary
3025 compatability, that existing use of -V is causing too tight versioned
3026 deps, and that if you do need to include the debian revision for some
3027 reason, you can always write it out by hand. Closes: #101497

3205 (Those files used to be used by debhelper for automatically generated
3206 data, but it uses a different internal filename now). It will be merged
3207 with any automatically determined substvars data. See bug #98819
3208 * I want to stress that no one should ever rely in internal, undocumented
3209 debhelper workings. Just because debhelper uses a certian name for some
3210 internally used file does not mean that you should feel free to modify
3211 that file to your own ends in a debian package. If you do use it, don't
3212 be at all suprised when it breaks. If you find that debhelper is lacking
3213 a documented interface for something that you need, ask for it!

3238 of options after --. Now that it's fixed, any and all programs that
3239 support a -- and options after it, do not require any special quoting
3240 of the succeeding options. Quote just like you would in whatever
3241 program those options go to. So, for example,
3242 dh_gencontrol -Vblah:Depends='foo, bar (>= 1.2)' will work just as you
3243 would hope. This fix does NOT apply to -u; don't use -u if you must do

3387 it makes more sense for debhelper to consistently depend on all utilities
3388 it uses internally rather than force people to keep their dependancies
3389 up to date with debhelper internals. If I decide tomorrow that w3m is
3390 the better program to use to format html changelogs, I can make the

3447 * Added dh_installman, a new program that replaces dh_installmanpages.
3448 It is not DWIM. You tell it what to install and it figures out where
3449 based on .TH section field and filename extention. I reccommend everyone
3450 begin using it, since this is much better then dh_installmanpages's
3451 evilness. I've been meaning to do this for a very long time..
3452 Closes: #38673, #53964, #64297, #16933, #17061, #54059, #54373, #61816
3453 * dh_installmanpages remains in the package for backwards compatability,
3454 but is mildly deprecated.
3455 * dh_testversion is deprecated; use build dependancies instead.
3456 * dh_suidregister: re-enabled. Aj thinks that requiring people to stop
3457 using it is unacceptable. Who am I to disagree with a rc bug report?
3458 Closes: #84910 It is still deprecated, and it will still whine at you
3459 if you use it. I appreciate the job everyone has been doing at
3460 switching to statoverrides..
3461 * Since dh_debstd requires dh_installmanpages (where do you think the
3462 latter's evil interface came from?), I have removed it. It was a nice
3463 thought-toy, but nobody really used it, right?
3464 * Since the from-debstd document walks the maintainer through running
3465 dh_debstd to get a list of debhelper commands, and since that document
3466 has really outlives its usefullness, I removed it too. Use dh-make
3468 * dh_installman installs only into /usr/share/man, not the X11R6
3469 directory. Policy says "files must not be installed into
3470 `/usr/X11R6/bin/', `/usr/X11R6/lib/', or `/usr/X11R6/man/' unless this
3471 is necessary for the package to operate properly", and I really doubt
3472 a man page being in /usr/share/man is going to break many programs.
3473 Closes: #81853 (I hope the bug submitter doesn't care that
3474 dh_installmanpages still puts stuff in the X11R6/man directory.)
3475 * dh_undocumented now the same too now.
3476 * dh_installinit: installs debian/package.default files as /etc/default/
3478 * Updated to current perl coding standards (use strict, lower-case
3479 variable names, pod man pages).
3480 * Since with the fixing of the man page installer issue, my checklist for
3481 debhelper v3 is complete, I pronounce debhelper v3 done! Revved the
3482 version number appropriatly (a large jump; v3 changes less than I had
3483 planned). Note that I have no plans for a v4 at this time. :-)
3484 * Testing: I have used this new version of debhelper to build a large
3485 number of my own packages, and it seems to work. But this release
3486 touches every file in this package, so be careful out there..

3556 packages that contain suid binaries should include the binaries suid in

3558 to a program that previously used suidmanager, though, you need to
3559 conflict with suidmanager (<< 0.50).

3561 If so, it states that it is obsolete, and refer users to the man

3651 - dh_makeshlibs makes the postinst/postrm call ldconfig. Closes: #77154
3652 Patch from Masato Taruishi <taru@debian.org> (modified). If you
3653 use this, be sure dh_makeshlibs runs before dh_installdeb; many
3654 old rules files have the ordering backwards.
3655 - dh_installdeb now causes all files in /etc to be registered as
3657 - debian/README is now supported: it is treated exactly like
3658 debian/README.Debian. Either file is installed as README.Debian in
3659 non-native packages, and now as just README in native packages.
3661 * This is really only the start of the changes for v3, so use with
3663 * dh_du has finally been removed. It has been deprecated for ages, and
3664 a grep of the archive shows that nothing is using it except biss-awt
3665 and scsh. I filed bugs on both almost exactly a year ago. Those bugs
3666 should now be raised to severity important..
3667 * --number option (to dh_installemacsen) is removed. It has been
3668 deprecated for a while and nothing uses it. Use --priority instead.

3902 * I started work on debhelper v2 over a year ago, with a long list of
3903 changes I hoped to get in that broke backwards compatability. That
3904 development stalled after only the most important change was made,
3905 although I did get out over 100 releases in the debhelper 2.0.x tree.
3906 In the meantime, lots of packages have switched to using v2, despite my
3907 warnings that doing so leaves packages open to being broken without
3908 notice until v2 is complete.
3909 * Therefore, I am calling v2 complete, as it is. Future non-compatabile
3910 changes will happen in v3, which will be started soon. This means that
3911 by using debhelper v2, one major thing changes: debhelper uses
3912 debian/<package> as the temporary directory for *all* packages;
3913 debian/tmp is no longer used to build binary packages out of. This is
3914 very useful for multi-binary packages, and I reccommend everyone
3916 * Updated example rules files to use v2 by default.

4035 * Patch from Jorgen `forcer' Schaefer <forcer at mindless.com> (much
4036 modified)to make dh_installwm use new window manager registration method,
4037 update-alternatives. Closes: #52156, #34684 (latter bug is obsolete)
4038 * Fixed $dh{flavor} to be upper-case.
4039 * Deprecated dh_installemavcsen --number; use --priority instead. Also,
4040 the option parser requires the parameter be a number now. And,
4041 dh_installwm now accepts --priority, and window manager packages should
4043 * dh_installwm now behaves like a proper debhelper command, and reads
4044 debian/<package>.wm too. This is a small behavior change; filenames
4045 specified on the command line no longer apply to all packages it acts
4046 on. I can't belive this program existed for 2 years with such a glaring
4047 problem; I guess most people don't need ot register 5 wm's in 3
4048 sub-packages. Anyway, it can handle such things now. :-)
4049 * Moved Dh_*.pm to /usr/lib/perl5/Debian/Debhelper. *big* change.

4129 files that need to be registered. It looped, registering the first
4130 link, and then removing its suid bit. This messed up the registration
4131 of the other had links, since their permissions were now changed,
4132 leading to unpredictable results. The fix is to just not remove suid
4133 bits until all files have been registered.

4143 - This also Closes: #37092 come to think of it.
4144 * dh_shlibdeps, dh_shlibdeps.1:
4145 - Added -X option, which makes it not examine some files. This is

4148 easier to specify other -d parameters in the uparams, and doesn't
4149 otherwise change the result at all.
4151 - dh_installdebfiles is no longer a part of debhelper. This affects
4152 exactly one package in unstable, biss-awt, which has had a bug filed

4271 <cwryu@dor17988.kaist.ac.kr>. Closes: #46684
4272 I made some changes, though:
4273 - I rewrote lots of this script to be more my style of perl.
4274 - I removed all the verbisity from the postinst script fragment, since
4275 that is a clear violation of policy.
4276 - I made the postinst fail if the mkfontdir, etc commands fail, because
4277 this really makes more sense. Consider idempotency.
4278 - I moved the test to see if the font dir is really a directory into the
4279 dh_ script and out of the snippet. If the maintainer plays tricks on
4280 us, mkfontdir will blow up satisfactorally anyway.
4281 - So, the snippet is 9 lines long now, down from 20-some.
4282 - I realize this isn't following the reccommendations made in Brando^Hen's
4283 font policy. I'll fight it out with him. :-)
4284 - In postrm fragment, used rmdir -p to remove as many parent directories
4286 - s:/usr/lib/X11/:/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/:g

4330 though it's now uglier. Closes: 46287
4331 * examples/*: It's important that one -not- use a install-stamp target.
4332 Install should run every time binary-* calls it. Otherwise if a binary-*

4454 http://www.debian.org/Lists-Archives/debian-ctte-9908/msg00038.html,
4455 to make /usr/doc/<package> a compatability symlink to
4456 /usr/share/doc/<package>. Note that currently if something exists in
4457 /usr/doc/<package> when the postinst is run, it will silently not make
4458 the symlink. I'm considering more intellingent handing of this case.
4459 * Note that if you build a package with this version of debhelper, it will
4460 use /usr/share/man, /usr/share/doc, and /usr/share/info. You may need to
4461 modify other files in your package that reference the old locations.

4529 * Checked all of debhelper into CVS.
4530 * Removed Test.pm (we have perl 5.005 now)
4531 * Skip CVS dir when running tests.
4532 * Since CVS is so brain dead about symlinks, added a debian/fixlinks script.
4533 Modified debian/rules to make sure it's run if any of the symlinks are
4534 missing. Also, made Makefile a short file that sources debian/rules so
4535 it's always available.

4539 debhelper (2.0.21) unstable; urgency=low
4541 * Wow. It turns out dh_installdocs has been doing it wrong and doc-base
4542 files have the doc-id inside them. Applied and modified a patch from
4543 Peter Moulder <reiter@netspace.net.au> to make it use those id's instead
4544 of coming up with it's own. (Closes: #42650)

4577 * Dh_lib.pm: when looking for debhelper files in debian/, test with -f,
4578 not with -e, because it might fail if you're building a package named,
4579 say, 'docs', with a temp dir of debian/docs. I don't anticipate this

4635 there (and won't until people come up with a general transition strategy or
4636 decide to not have a clean transiotion), dh_compress now compresses
4637 various files in /usr/share/{man,doc,info}. (Closes: #40892)

4671 * Patch from Raphael Hertzog <rhertzog@hrnet.fr> to make dh_perl support a

4705 build directory for all packages. debian/tmp is no more! (Well, except

4709 current compatability level is equal to that number.

4737 to make it look for init.d scripts matching the --init-script parameter.

4782 * dh_fixperms: Do not use chmod/chown -R at all anymore, instead it uses
4783 the (slower) find then chown method. Necessary because the -R methods will
4784 happyily attempt to chown a dangling symlink, which makes them fail.

4799 This is an experimental change, one problem is if your man page isn't
4800 already gzip-9'd, it will be in violation of policy. (closes: #38673)

4848 only the above bugfix and a few more dh_link tests.

5169 * dh_fixperms: linux 2.1.x and 2.2.x differ from earlier versions in that
5170 they do not clear the suid bit on a file when the owner of that file

5197 * dh_installdocs: Added doc-base support, if debian/<package>.doc-base
5198 exists, it will be installed as a doc-base control file. If you use this,
5199 you probably want to add "dh_testversion 1.2.21" to the rules file to make
5200 sure your package is built with a new enough debhelper.
5201 * dh_installdocs: now supports -n to make it not modify postinst/prerm.

5203 suidregister actually supports it.
5204 * autoscripts/*: instead of "text -x", use "command -v" to see if various
5205 binaries exist. This gets rid of lots of hard-coded paths.

5219 debhelper commands, and just outputs a list of the binary packages a

5221 of wn's truely ugly use of debhelper internals to get the same info (and
5222 because it's just 4 lines of code ;-).
5223 * dh_compress: is now smart about compressing files that are hardlinks.

5225 re-make hardlinks to the compressed file, saving some disk space.

5253 I have looked and it doesn't seem this will actually affect any packages
5254 in debian. This is useful only if you want to use dh_installdocs and not
5255 dh_fixperms, and that's the only time this behavior change will have any
5256 effect, either. (#30118)

5393 will create a window where it is suid before suidmanager fixes it's

5409 (as yet unreleased) xbase. Now a new dh_installwm program handles
5410 registration of a window manager and the necessary modifications to
5411 postinst and postrm. It's safe to go ahead and start using this for your
5412 window manager packages, just note that it won't do anything until the new
5413 xbase is out, and that due to the design of register-window-manager, if
5414 your wm is installed before a xbase that supports register-window-manager
5415 is installed, the window manager will never be registered. (#20971)

5529 * Encode the version of debhelper in a sepererate file, so dh_testversion
5530 doesn't have to be generated when a new version of debhelper is built.
5531 * Removed bogus menu file.

5548 * dh_gencontrol.1, dh_gencontrol: the man page had said that
5549 --update-rcd-params was equivilant to -u for this program. You should

5579 metacharacters in the output. I probably don't escape out all the
5580 characters I should, but this is just a convenience to the user anyway.

5591 * dh_installexamples: rewritten in perl.
5592 * Dh_Lib.pm: all multiple package operations were broken.
5593 * Dh_Lib.pm: implemented complex_doit() and autoscript().
5594 * Made all perl code work with use strict and -w (well, except
5595 dh_getopt.pl, but that's a hack that'll go away one day).
5596 * I didn't realize, but rewriting dh_installdocs in perl fixed bug #24686
5597 (blank lines in debian/docs file problem), although this same problem
5598 applies to other debhelper programs... like dh_installexamples, which had
5599 the same bug fixed when I rewrote it in perl just now.

5613 large chunks in the process.

5781 providing me with free internet access on a moment's notice, so I could
5782 get this package to you after hacking on it all over New England for the
5783 past week. Thanks, guys!
5785 * Added dh_debstd, which mimics the functionality of the debstd command.
5786 It's not a complete nor an exact copy, and it's not so much intended to
5787 be used in a debian/rules file, as it is to be run by hand when you are
5788 converting a package from debstd to debhelper. "dh_debstd -v" will
5789 output the sequence of debhelper commands that approximate what debstd
5790 would do in the same situation.
5791 * dh_debstd is completly untested, I don't have the source to any packages
5792 that use debstd available. Once this is tested, I plan to release
5794 * Added a from-debstd document that gives a recipe to convert from debstd
5796 * dh_fixperms: can now use -X to exclude files from having their
5797 permissions changed.
5798 * dh_testroot: test for uid == 0, instead of username == root, becuase
5799 some people enjoy changing root's name.
5800 * dh_installinit: handle debian/init.d as well as debian/init files,
5801 for backwards compatability with debstd. Unlike with debstd, the two
5802 files are treated identically.
5803 * dh_lib, PROGRAMMING: added "warning" function.

5816 exclude, without all the bother of a debian/compress script. You can
5817 use -X multiple times, too.
5818 * PROGRAMMING, dh_getopt.pl: DH_EXCLUDE is now a variable set by the
5819 --exclude (-X) switch. -x now sets DH_INCLUDE_CONFFILES.

6092 use debian/<mainpackage>.dirs too, for consistency. (#16934)

6094 preference to debian/copyright, so subpackages with varying copyrights
6095 are supported. (#16935)

6113 version requirements in the shlibs file.
6114 * dh_{installdirs,installdocs,installexamples,suidregister,undocumented}:

6123 * dh_makeshlibs: added -m parameter, which can force the major number
6124 of the shared library if it is guessed incorrectly.

6128 behavior modification - any files/directories specified on the command
6129 line now apply to the first package acted on. This may not be the
6130 first package listed in debian/control, if you use -p to make it act on
6131 a given package, or -i or -a.
6132 * If you take advantage of the above new behavior, I suggest you add
6133 "dh_testversion 0.50" to your debian/rules.
6134 * Display a warning message in cases where the above behavior is triggered,
6135 and debhelper's behavior has altered.
6136 * I have grepped debian's source packages, and I'm quite sure this
6137 is not going to affect any packages currently in debian.
6138 * dh_lib: isnative() now caches its return value, which should optimize
6139 away several more calls to dpkg-parsechangelog.

6167 makes a package build slower (by about 30 seconds, on average), so

6216 #15624, and hopefully doesn't break anything else.
6217 * A side effect of this (of interest only to the debhelper programmer) is
6218 that doit() can no longer handle complex commands now. (ie, pipes, `;',
6219 `&', etc separating multiple commands, or redirection)
