9 * dh_installchangelogs: Fall back to looking for changelog files ending
10 with ".txt". Closes: #498460

12 complaining about it when it's empty. Closes: #498666
13 * dh: Fix typo in example. Closes: #500836
14 * Allow individual debhelper programs to define their own special options
15 by passing a hash to init(), which is later passed on the Getopt::Long.
17 * Move many command-specific options to only be accepted by the command
18 that uses them. Affected options are:
19 -x, -r, -R, -l, -L, -m,
20 --include-conffiles, --no-restart-on-upgrade, --no-start,
21 --restart-after-upgrade, --init-script, --filename, --flavor, --autodest,
22 --libpackage, --add-udeb, --dpkg-shlibdeps-params,
23 --dpkg-gencontrol-params, --update-rcd-params, --major, --remove-d,
24 --dirs-only, --keep-debug, --version-info, --list-missing, --fail-missing,
25 --language, --until, --after, --before, --remaining, --with
26 * If any third-party debhelper commands use any of the above options,
27 they will be broken, and need to be changed to pass options to init().
28 * To avoid breaking rules files that pass options to commands that do not
29 use them, debhelper will now only warn if it encounters an unknown
30 option. This will be converted back to an error later.

166 * One problem with the log files is that if dh_clean is not the last command
167 run, they will be left behind. This is a particular problem on build
168 daemons that use real root. Especially if cdbs is used, since it runs
169 dh_listpackages after clean, thereby leaving behind log files that
170 only root can touch. Avoid this particular special case by inhibiting

522 * dh_installudev: Install udev rules directly into /etc/udev/rules.d/, not
523 using the symlinks. MD has agreed that this is more appropriate for most
525 * That fixes the longstanding bug that the symlink was only made on brand
526 new installs of the package, rather than on upgrade to the first version
527 that includes the udev rules file. Closes: #359614
528 * This avoids the need to run udevcontrol reload_rules, since inotify
529 will see the file has changed. Closes: #414537
530 * dh_installudev: Add preinst and postinst code to handle cleanly moving
531 the rules file to the new location on upgrade.
532 * This would be a good time for the many packages that manage rules files
533 w/o using dh_installudev to begin to use it..
534 * Do script fragement reversal only in v6, since it can break certian
535 third party programs such as dh_installtex. Closes: #419060

542 package install. Closes: #415717
543 * prerm and postrm scripts are now generated in a reverse order than
544 preinst and postinst scripts. For example, if a package uses
545 dh_pysupport before dh_installinit, the prerm will first stop the init
546 script and then remove the python files.
547 * Introducing beginning of v6 mode.
548 * dh_installwm: In v6 mode, install a slave manpage link for
549 x-window-manager.1.gz. Done in v6 mode because some window managers
550 probably work around this longstanding debhelper bug by registering the
551 slave on their own. This bug was only fixable once programs moved out of
552 /usr/X11R6. Closes: #85963
553 * dh_builddeb: In v6 mode, fix bug in DH_ALWAYS_EXCLUDE handling, to work
554 the same as all the other code in debhelper. This could only be fixed in
555 v6 mode because packages may potentially legitimately rely on the old
556 buggy behavior. Closes: #242834
557 * dh_installman: In v6 mode, overwrite existing man pages. Closes: #288250
558 * Add dh_installifupdown. Please consider using this if you have

676 * Update of dh_python
677 - vastly refactored, easier to understand, and the difference
678 between old policy and new policy is easier to grasp
679 - it supports an -X option which can be used to not scan some files
680 - uses debian/pyversions as reference source of information for
681 dependencies but also parse the XS-Python-Version header as fallback.
682 - ${python:Versions}'s default value is XS-Python-Version's value
683 instead of "all" when the package doesn't depend on a
684 specific python version. Closes: #373853
685 - always generate ${python:Provides} and leave the responsibility to the
686 maintainer to not use ${python:Provides} if he doesn't want the
688 - uses debian/pycompat or DH_PYCOMPAT as reference field to run in new
689 policy mode. The presence of XS-Python-Version will also trigger the
690 new policy mode (this is for short-term compatibility, it may be removed in
691 the not too-distant future).
692 DH_PYCOMPAT=1 is the default mode and is compatible to the old policy.
693 DH_PYCOMPAT=2 is the new mode and is compatible with the new policy.

2245 only put newsworthy info into them. Automated tools can then display new

2392 * dh_movefiles has long been a sore point in debhelper. Inherited
2393 from debstd, its interface and implementation suck, and I have maintained
2394 it while never really deigning to use it. Now there is a remplacment:
2395 dh_install, which ...
2396 - copies files, doesn't move them. Closes: #75360, #82649
2397 - doesn't have that whole annoying debian/package.files vs. debian/files
2398 mess, as it uses debian/install.
2399 - supports copying empty subdirs. Closes: #133037
2400 - doesn't use tar, thus no error reproting problems. Closes: #112538
2401 - files are listed relative to the pwd, debian/tmp need not be used at
2402 all, so no globbing issues. Closes: #100404
2403 - supports -X. Closes: #116902
2404 - the whole concept of moving files out of a directory is gone, so this
2405 bug doesn't really apply. Closes: #120026
2406 - This is exactly what Bill Allombert asked for in #117383, even though I
2407 designed it seemingly independantly. Thank you Bill! Closes: #117383
2408 * Made debhelper's debian/rules a lot simpler by means of the above.
2409 * Updated example rules file to use dh_install. Also some reordering and
2410 other minor changes.
2411 * dh_movefiles is lightly deprecated, and when you run into its bugs and
2412 bad design, you are incouraged to just use dh_install instead.
2413 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in bin/ dirs +x. Closes: #119039
2414 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in etc/init.d executable (of
2415 course there's -X ..)
2416 * dh_link: in v4 only, finds existing, non-policy-conformant symlinks
2417 and corrects them. This has the side effect of making dh_link idempotent.
2418 * Added a -h/--help option. This seems very obvious, but it never occured to
2420 * use v4 for building debhelper itself
2421 * v4 mode is done, you may now use it without fear of it changing.
2422 (This idea of this upload is to get v4 into woody so people won't run into
2423 many issues backporting from sarge to woody later on. Packages targeted
2424 for woody should continue to use whatever compatability level they are

2468 * Thanks to Benjamin Drieu <benj@debian.org>, dh_installdocs -X now works.
2469 I had to modify his patch to use cp --parents, since -P spews warnings
2470 now. Also, I made it continue to use cp -a if nothing is excluded,
2471 which is both faster, and means this patch is less likely to break
2472 anything if it turns out to be buggy. Also, stylistic changes.

2499 debhelper (3.4.4) unstable; urgency=low
2501 * Introduced the debian/compat file. This is the new, preferred way to say
2502 what debhelper compatability level your package uses. It has the big
2503 advantage of being available to debhelper when you run it at the command
2504 line, as well as in debian/rules.
2505 * A new v4 feature: dh_installinit, in v4 mode, will use invoke-rc.d.
2506 This is in v4 for testing, but I may well roll it back into v3 (and
2507 earlier) once woody is released and I don't have to worry about breaking
2508 things (and, presumably, once invoke-rc.d enters policy).
2509 * Some debhelper commands will now build up a new substvars variable,
2510 ${misc:Depends}, based on things they know your package needs to depend
2511 on. For example, dh_installinit in v4 mode adds sysvinit (>= 2.80-1) to
2512 that dep list, and dh_installxfonts adds a dep on xutils. This variable
2513 should make it easier to keep track of what your package needs to depends
2514 on, supplimenting the ${shlibs:Depends} and ${perl:Depends} substvars.
2515 Hmm, this appears to be based loosely on an idea by Masato Taruishi

2553 * Began work on v4 support (and thus the large version number jump), and it
2554 is only for the very brave right now since I will unhesitatingly break
2555 compatability in v4 mode as I'm developing it. Currently, updating to v4
2556 mode will only make dh_makeshlibs -V generate shared library deps that
2557 omit the debian part of the version number. The reasoning behind this
2558 change is that the debian revision should not typically break binary
2559 compatability, that existing use of -V is causing too tight versioned
2560 deps, and that if you do need to include the debian revision for some
2561 reason, you can always write it out by hand. Closes: #101497

2740 data, but it uses a different internal filename now). It will be merged
2741 with any automatically determined substvars data. See bug #98819
2742 * I want to stress that no one should ever rely in internal, undocumented
2743 debhelper workings. Just because debhelper uses a certian name for some
2744 internally used file does not mean that you should feel free to modify
2745 that file to your own ends in a debian package. If you do use it, don't
2746 be at all suprised when it breaks. If you find that debhelper is lacking
2747 a documented interface for something that you need, ask for it!

2772 of options after --. Now that it's fixed, any and all programs that
2773 support a -- and options after it, do not require any special quoting
2774 of the succeeding options. Quote just like you would in whatever
2775 program those options go to. So, for example,
2776 dh_gencontrol -Vblah:Depends='foo, bar (>= 1.2)' will work just as you
2777 would hope. This fix does NOT apply to -u; don't use -u if you must do

2921 it makes more sense for debhelper to consistently depend on all utilities
2922 it uses internally rather than force people to keep their dependancies
2923 up to date with debhelper internals. If I decide tomorrow that w3m is
2924 the better program to use to format html changelogs, I can make the

2981 * Added dh_installman, a new program that replaces dh_installmanpages.
2982 It is not DWIM. You tell it what to install and it figures out where
2983 based on .TH section field and filename extention. I reccommend everyone
2984 begin using it, since this is much better then dh_installmanpages's
2985 evilness. I've been meaning to do this for a very long time..

2992 Closes: #84910 It is still deprecated, and it will still whine at you

2996 latter's evil interface came from?), I have removed it. It was a nice
2997 thought-toy, but nobody really used it, right?
2998 * Since the from-debstd document walks the maintainer through running
2999 dh_debstd to get a list of debhelper commands, and since that document
3000 has really outlives its usefullness, I removed it too. Use dh-make
3002 * dh_installman installs only into /usr/share/man, not the X11R6
3003 directory. Policy says "files must not be installed into
3004 `/usr/X11R6/bin/', `/usr/X11R6/lib/', or `/usr/X11R6/man/' unless this
3005 is necessary for the package to operate properly", and I really doubt
3006 a man page being in /usr/share/man is going to break many programs.
3007 Closes: #81853 (I hope the bug submitter doesn't care that
3008 dh_installmanpages still puts stuff in the X11R6/man directory.)
3009 * dh_undocumented now the same too now.
3010 * dh_installinit: installs debian/package.default files as /etc/default/
3012 * Updated to current perl coding standards (use strict, lower-case
3013 variable names, pod man pages).
3014 * Since with the fixing of the man page installer issue, my checklist for
3015 debhelper v3 is complete, I pronounce debhelper v3 done! Revved the
3016 version number appropriatly (a large jump; v3 changes less than I had
3017 planned). Note that I have no plans for a v4 at this time. :-)
3018 * Testing: I have used this new version of debhelper to build a large
3019 number of my own packages, and it seems to work. But this release
3020 touches every file in this package, so be careful out there..

3092 to a program that previously used suidmanager, though, you need to
3093 conflict with suidmanager (<< 0.50).

3185 - dh_makeshlibs makes the postinst/postrm call ldconfig. Closes: #77154
3186 Patch from Masato Taruishi <taru@debian.org> (modified). If you
3187 use this, be sure dh_makeshlibs runs before dh_installdeb; many
3188 old rules files have the ordering backwards.
3189 - dh_installdeb now causes all files in /etc to be registered as
3191 - debian/README is now supported: it is treated exactly like
3192 debian/README.Debian. Either file is installed as README.Debian in
3193 non-native packages, and now as just README in native packages.
3195 * This is really only the start of the changes for v3, so use with
3197 * dh_du has finally been removed. It has been deprecated for ages, and
3198 a grep of the archive shows that nothing is using it except biss-awt
3199 and scsh. I filed bugs on both almost exactly a year ago. Those bugs
3200 should now be raised to severity important..

3436 * I started work on debhelper v2 over a year ago, with a long list of
3437 changes I hoped to get in that broke backwards compatability. That
3438 development stalled after only the most important change was made,
3439 although I did get out over 100 releases in the debhelper 2.0.x tree.
3440 In the meantime, lots of packages have switched to using v2, despite my
3441 warnings that doing so leaves packages open to being broken without
3442 notice until v2 is complete.
3443 * Therefore, I am calling v2 complete, as it is. Future non-compatabile
3444 changes will happen in v3, which will be started soon. This means that
3445 by using debhelper v2, one major thing changes: debhelper uses
3446 debian/<package> as the temporary directory for *all* packages;
3447 debian/tmp is no longer used to build binary packages out of. This is
3448 very useful for multi-binary packages, and I reccommend everyone

3574 the option parser requires the parameter be a number now. And,
3575 dh_installwm now accepts --priority, and window manager packages should
3577 * dh_installwm now behaves like a proper debhelper command, and reads
3578 debian/<package>.wm too. This is a small behavior change; filenames
3579 specified on the command line no longer apply to all packages it acts
3580 on. I can't belive this program existed for 2 years with such a glaring
3581 problem; I guess most people don't need ot register 5 wm's in 3
3582 sub-packages. Anyway, it can handle such things now. :-)

3663 files that need to be registered. It looped, registering the first
3664 link, and then removing its suid bit. This messed up the registration
3665 of the other had links, since their permissions were now changed,
3666 leading to unpredictable results. The fix is to just not remove suid
3667 bits until all files have been registered.

3677 - This also Closes: #37092 come to think of it.
3678 * dh_shlibdeps, dh_shlibdeps.1:
3679 - Added -X option, which makes it not examine some files. This is
3680 useful in rare cases. Closes: #51100
3681 - Always pass "-dDepends" before the list of files, which makes it
3682 easier to specify other -d parameters in the uparams, and doesn't
3683 otherwise change the result at all.
3685 - dh_installdebfiles is no longer a part of debhelper. This affects
3686 exactly one package in unstable, biss-awt, which has had a bug filed

3805 <cwryu@dor17988.kaist.ac.kr>. Closes: #46684
3806 I made some changes, though:
3807 - I rewrote lots of this script to be more my style of perl.
3808 - I removed all the verbisity from the postinst script fragment, since
3809 that is a clear violation of policy.
3810 - I made the postinst fail if the mkfontdir, etc commands fail, because
3811 this really makes more sense. Consider idempotency.
3812 - I moved the test to see if the font dir is really a directory into the
3813 dh_ script and out of the snippet. If the maintainer plays tricks on
3814 us, mkfontdir will blow up satisfactorally anyway.
3815 - So, the snippet is 9 lines long now, down from 20-some.
3816 - I realize this isn't following the reccommendations made in Brando^Hen's
3817 font policy. I'll fight it out with him. :-)
3818 - In postrm fragment, used rmdir -p to remove as many parent directories
3820 - s:/usr/lib/X11/:/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/:g

3864 though it's now uglier. Closes: 46287
3865 * examples/*: It's important that one -not- use a install-stamp target.
3866 Install should run every time binary-* calls it. Otherwise if a binary-*

3988 http://www.debian.org/Lists-Archives/debian-ctte-9908/msg00038.html,
3989 to make /usr/doc/<package> a compatability symlink to
3990 /usr/share/doc/<package>. Note that currently if something exists in
3991 /usr/doc/<package> when the postinst is run, it will silently not make
3992 the symlink. I'm considering more intellingent handing of this case.
3993 * Note that if you build a package with this version of debhelper, it will
3994 use /usr/share/man, /usr/share/doc, and /usr/share/info. You may need to

4005 * debhelper.1: mentioned above technique.

4007 * examples/rules.multi2: new file, example of a multi-binary package that
4008 works for arch-indep and arch-dependant packages, and also allows

4733 you probably want to add "dh_testversion 1.2.21" to the rules file to make

4737 suidregister actually supports it.

4946 window manager packages, just note that it won't do anything until the new
4947 xbase is out, and that due to the design of register-window-manager, if
4948 your wm is installed before a xbase that supports register-window-manager
4949 is installed, the window manager will never be registered. (#20971)

5053 * It's come to my attention that a few packages use filename globbing in
5054 debian/{docs,examples,whatever} files and expect that to work. It used
5055 to work before the perl conversion, but it was never _documented_, or
5056 intented to work. If you use this in your packages, they are broken and
5057 need fixing (and will refuse to build with current versions of debhelper).
5058 I apologize for the inconvenience.

5061 remove debian/files properly.
5062 * dh_shlibdeps, dh_testdir, dh_testroot, dh_testversion: converted to perl.

5316 get this package to you after hacking on it all over New England for the
5317 past week. Thanks, guys!
5319 * Added dh_debstd, which mimics the functionality of the debstd command.
5320 It's not a complete nor an exact copy, and it's not so much intended to
5321 be used in a debian/rules file, as it is to be run by hand when you are
5322 converting a package from debstd to debhelper. "dh_debstd -v" will
5323 output the sequence of debhelper commands that approximate what debstd
5324 would do in the same situation.
5325 * dh_debstd is completly untested, I don't have the source to any packages
5326 that use debstd available. Once this is tested, I plan to release
5328 * Added a from-debstd document that gives a recipe to convert from debstd
5330 * dh_fixperms: can now use -X to exclude files from having their
5331 permissions changed.

5333 some people enjoy changing root's name.
5334 * dh_installinit: handle debian/init.d as well as debian/init files,
5335 for backwards compatability with debstd. Unlike with debstd, the two
5336 files are treated identically.

5351 use -X multiple times, too.

5626 use debian/<mainpackage>.dirs too, for consistency. (#16934)

5628 preference to debian/copyright, so subpackages with varying copyrights
5629 are supported. (#16935)

5657 * dh_makeshlibs: added -m parameter, which can force the major number
5658 of the shared library if it is guessed incorrectly.

5662 behavior modification - any files/directories specified on the command
5663 line now apply to the first package acted on. This may not be the
5664 first package listed in debian/control, if you use -p to make it act on
5665 a given package, or -i or -a.
5666 * If you take advantage of the above new behavior, I suggest you add
5667 "dh_testversion 0.50" to your debian/rules.
5668 * Display a warning message in cases where the above behavior is triggered,
5669 and debhelper's behavior has altered.
5670 * I have grepped debian's source packages, and I'm quite sure this
5671 is not going to affect any packages currently in debian.
5672 * dh_lib: isnative() now caches its return value, which should optimize
5673 away several more calls to dpkg-parsechangelog.

5750 #15624, and hopefully doesn't break anything else.
5751 * A side effect of this (of interest only to the debhelper programmer) is
5752 that doit() can no longer handle complex commands now. (ie, pipes, `;',
5753 `&', etc separating multiple commands, or redirection)
