57 - vastly refactored, easier to understand, and the difference
58 between old policy and new policy is easier to grasp
59 - it supports an -X option which can be used to not scan some files
60 - uses debian/pyversions as reference source of information for
61 dependencies but also parse the XS-Python-Version header as fallback.
62 - ${python:Versions}'s default value is XS-Python-Version's value
63 instead of "all" when the package doesn't depend on a
64 specific python version. Closes: #373853
65 - always generate ${python:Provides} and leave the responsibility to the
66 maintainer to not use ${python:Provides} if he doesn't want the
68 - uses debian/pycompat or DH_PYCOMPAT as reference field to run in new
69 policy mode. The presence of XS-Python-Version will also trigger the
70 new policy mode (this is for short-term compatibility, it may be removed in
71 the not too-distant future).
72 DH_PYCOMPAT=1 is the default mode and is compatible to the old policy.
73 DH_PYCOMPAT=2 is the new mode and is compatible with the new policy.
74 * Use "grep ^Version:" instead of "grep Version:" on the output of
75 dpkg-parsechangelog since the above changelog entry matched "Version:" and

1772 * dh_movefiles has long been a sore point in debhelper. Inherited
1773 from debstd, its interface and implementation suck, and I have maintained
1774 it while never really deigning to use it. Now there is a remplacment:
1775 dh_install, which ...
1776 - copies files, doesn't move them. Closes: #75360, #82649
1777 - doesn't have that whole annoying debian/package.files vs. debian/files
1778 mess, as it uses debian/install.
1779 - supports copying empty subdirs. Closes: #133037
1780 - doesn't use tar, thus no error reproting problems. Closes: #112538
1781 - files are listed relative to the pwd, debian/tmp need not be used at
1782 all, so no globbing issues. Closes: #100404
1783 - supports -X. Closes: #116902
1784 - the whole concept of moving files out of a directory is gone, so this
1785 bug doesn't really apply. Closes: #120026
1786 - This is exactly what Bill Allombert asked for in #117383, even though I
1787 designed it seemingly independantly. Thank you Bill! Closes: #117383
1788 * Made debhelper's debian/rules a lot simpler by means of the above.
1789 * Updated example rules file to use dh_install. Also some reordering and
1790 other minor changes.
1791 * dh_movefiles is lightly deprecated, and when you run into its bugs and
1792 bad design, you are incouraged to just use dh_install instead.
1793 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in bin/ dirs +x. Closes: #119039
1794 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in etc/init.d executable (of
1795 course there's -X ..)
1796 * dh_link: in v4 only, finds existing, non-policy-conformant symlinks
1797 and corrects them. This has the side effect of making dh_link idempotent.

1800 * use v4 for building debhelper itself
1801 * v4 mode is done, you may now use it without fear of it changing.

1851 which is both faster, and means this patch is less likely to break
1852 anything if it turns out to be buggy. Also, stylistic changes.

1879 debhelper (3.4.4) unstable; urgency=low
1881 * Introduced the debian/compat file. This is the new, preferred way to say
1882 what debhelper compatability level your package uses. It has the big
1883 advantage of being available to debhelper when you run it at the command
1884 line, as well as in debian/rules.
1885 * A new v4 feature: dh_installinit, in v4 mode, will use invoke-rc.d.
1886 This is in v4 for testing, but I may well roll it back into v3 (and
1887 earlier) once woody is released and I don't have to worry about breaking
1888 things (and, presumably, once invoke-rc.d enters policy).
1889 * Some debhelper commands will now build up a new substvars variable,
1890 ${misc:Depends}, based on things they know your package needs to depend
1891 on. For example, dh_installinit in v4 mode adds sysvinit (>= 2.80-1) to
1892 that dep list, and dh_installxfonts adds a dep on xutils. This variable
1893 should make it easier to keep track of what your package needs to depends
1894 on, supplimenting the ${shlibs:Depends} and ${perl:Depends} substvars.
1895 Hmm, this appears to be based loosely on an idea by Masato Taruishi
1896 <taru@debian.org>, filtered through a long period of mulling it over.
1898 * Use the addsubstvar function I wrote for the above in dh_perl too.

1933 * Began work on v4 support (and thus the large version number jump), and it
1934 is only for the very brave right now since I will unhesitatingly break
1935 compatability in v4 mode as I'm developing it. Currently, updating to v4
1936 mode will only make dh_makeshlibs -V generate shared library deps that
1937 omit the debian part of the version number. The reasoning behind this
1938 change is that the debian revision should not typically break binary
1939 compatability, that existing use of -V is causing too tight versioned
1940 deps, and that if you do need to include the debian revision for some
1941 reason, you can always write it out by hand. Closes: #101497

2117 * dh_gencontrol: Added a documented interface for specifying substvars
2118 data in a file. Substvars data may be put in debian/package.substvars.
2119 (Those files used to be used by debhelper for automatically generated
2120 data, but it uses a different internal filename now). It will be merged
2121 with any automatically determined substvars data. See bug #98819
2122 * I want to stress that no one should ever rely in internal, undocumented
2123 debhelper workings. Just because debhelper uses a certian name for some
2124 internally used file does not mean that you should feel free to modify
2125 that file to your own ends in a debian package. If you do use it, don't
2126 be at all suprised when it breaks. If you find that debhelper is lacking
2127 a documented interface for something that you need, ask for it!
2128 (debhelper's undocumented, internal use only files should now all be
2129 prefixed with ".debhelper")

2149 * Fixed issues with extended parameters to dh_gencontrol including spaces
2150 and quotes. This was some histirical cruft that deals with splitting up
2151 the string specified by -u, and it should not have applied to the set
2152 of options after --. Now that it's fixed, any and all programs that
2153 support a -- and options after it, do not require any special quoting
2154 of the succeeding options. Quote just like you would in whatever
2155 program those options go to. So, for example,
2156 dh_gencontrol -Vblah:Depends='foo, bar (>= 1.2)' will work just as you
2157 would hope. This fix does NOT apply to -u; don't use -u if you must do
2158 something complex. Closes: #89311

2296 I hate this, and wish it wasn't necessary to make cross compiles for

2298 * Now depends on debconf-utils for debconf-mergetemplates. Closes: #87321
2299 * Continues to depend on lynx for html changelog conversions. Yes, these
2300 and packages with translated debconf templates are rather rare, but
2301 it makes more sense for debhelper to consistently depend on all utilities
2302 it uses internally rather than force people to keep their dependancies
2303 up to date with debhelper internals. If I decide tomorrow that w3m is
2304 the better program to use to format html changelogs, I can make the
2305 change and packages don't need to update their build dependancies.
2306 Closes: #88464, #77743

2359 debhelper (3.0.0) unstable; urgency=low
2361 * Added dh_installman, a new program that replaces dh_installmanpages.
2362 It is not DWIM. You tell it what to install and it figures out where
2363 based on .TH section field and filename extention. I reccommend everyone
2364 begin using it, since this is much better then dh_installmanpages's
2365 evilness. I've been meaning to do this for a very long time..
2366 Closes: #38673, #53964, #64297, #16933, #17061, #54059, #54373, #61816
2367 * dh_installmanpages remains in the package for backwards compatability,
2368 but is mildly deprecated.
2369 * dh_testversion is deprecated; use build dependancies instead.
2370 * dh_suidregister: re-enabled. Aj thinks that requiring people to stop
2371 using it is unacceptable. Who am I to disagree with a rc bug report?
2372 Closes: #84910 It is still deprecated, and it will still whine at you
2373 if you use it. I appreciate the job everyone has been doing at
2374 switching to statoverrides..
2375 * Since dh_debstd requires dh_installmanpages (where do you think the
2376 latter's evil interface came from?), I have removed it. It was a nice
2377 thought-toy, but nobody really used it, right?
2378 * Since the from-debstd document walks the maintainer through running
2379 dh_debstd to get a list of debhelper commands, and since that document
2380 has really outlives its usefullness, I removed it too. Use dh-make
2382 * dh_installman installs only into /usr/share/man, not the X11R6
2383 directory. Policy says "files must not be installed into
2384 `/usr/X11R6/bin/', `/usr/X11R6/lib/', or `/usr/X11R6/man/' unless this
2385 is necessary for the package to operate properly", and I really doubt
2386 a man page being in /usr/share/man is going to break many programs.
2387 Closes: #81853 (I hope the bug submitter doesn't care that
2388 dh_installmanpages still puts stuff in the X11R6/man directory.)
2389 * dh_undocumented now the same too now.
2390 * dh_installinit: installs debian/package.default files as /etc/default/
2392 * Updated to current perl coding standards (use strict, lower-case
2393 variable names, pod man pages).
2394 * Since with the fixing of the man page installer issue, my checklist for
2395 debhelper v3 is complete, I pronounce debhelper v3 done! Revved the
2396 version number appropriatly (a large jump; v3 changes less than I had
2397 planned). Note that I have no plans for a v4 at this time. :-)
2398 * Testing: I have used this new version of debhelper to build a large
2399 number of my own packages, and it seems to work. But this release
2400 touches every file in this package, so be careful out there..

2472 to a program that previously used suidmanager, though, you need to
2473 conflict with suidmanager (<< 0.50).

2534 * If DH_COMPAT=3 is set, the following happens:
2535 - Various debian/foo files like debian/docs, debian/examples, etc,
2536 begin to support filename globbing. use \* to escape the wildcards of
2537 course. I doubt this will bite anyone (Debian doesn't seem to contain
2538 files with "*" or "?" in their names..), but it is guarded by v3 just
2539 to be sure. Closes: #34120, #37694, #39846, #46249

2553 * Reverted the change to make debian/README be treated as README.Debian,
2554 after I learned people use it for eg, documenting the source package
2555 itself. Closes: #34628, since it seems this is not such an "incredibly
2556 minor" change after all. Never underetimate the annoyance of
2557 backwards-compatability.

2563 * DH_COMPAT=3 now enables the following new features which I can't just
2564 turn on by default for fear of breaking backwards compatability:
2565 - dh_makeshlibs makes the postinst/postrm call ldconfig. Closes: #77154
2566 Patch from Masato Taruishi <taru@debian.org> (modified). If you
2567 use this, be sure dh_makeshlibs runs before dh_installdeb; many
2568 old rules files have the ordering backwards.
2569 - dh_installdeb now causes all files in /etc to be registered as
2571 - debian/README is now supported: it is treated exactly like
2572 debian/README.Debian. Either file is installed as README.Debian in
2573 non-native packages, and now as just README in native packages.
2575 * This is really only the start of the changes for v3, so use with
2577 * dh_du has finally been removed. It has been deprecated for ages, and
2578 a grep of the archive shows that nothing is using it except biss-awt
2579 and scsh. I filed bugs on both almost exactly a year ago. Those bugs
2580 should now be raised to severity important..
2581 * --number option (to dh_installemacsen) is removed. It has been
2582 deprecated for a while and nothing uses it. Use --priority instead.

2622 but only if they are files. This should make it more usable with
2623 rather stupidly broken libraries like db3, which do not encode the
2624 major version in their filenames. However, it cannot guess the major
2625 version of such libraries, so -m must be used.

2638 this is supported by dpkg itself now. Added a dependancy on
2639 dpkg-dev >= 1.7.0 to make sure this doesn't break anything.
2640 * While I'm updating for dpkg 1.7.0, I removed the -ldirectory hack
2641 from dh_shlibdeps; dpkg-shlibdeps has its own much more brutal hack to
2642 make this work. The switch is ignored now for backwards compatability.

2750 proir versions probably have issues on systems with non-modular

2816 * I started work on debhelper v2 over a year ago, with a long list of
2817 changes I hoped to get in that broke backwards compatability. That
2818 development stalled after only the most important change was made,
2819 although I did get out over 100 releases in the debhelper 2.0.x tree.
2820 In the meantime, lots of packages have switched to using v2, despite my
2821 warnings that doing so leaves packages open to being broken without
2822 notice until v2 is complete.
2823 * Therefore, I am calling v2 complete, as it is. Future non-compatabile
2824 changes will happen in v3, which will be started soon. This means that
2825 by using debhelper v2, one major thing changes: debhelper uses
2826 debian/<package> as the temporary directory for *all* packages;
2827 debian/tmp is no longer used to build binary packages out of. This is
2828 very useful for multi-binary packages, and I reccommend everyone
2830 * Updated example rules files to use v2 by default.

3042 hard links, and was suid, suidregister detected all the hard links as
3043 files that need to be registered. It looped, registering the first
3044 link, and then removing its suid bit. This messed up the registration
3045 of the other had links, since their permissions were now changed,

3053 * dh_installmanpages:
3054 - Added support for translated man pages, with a patch from Kis Gergely
3055 <kisg@lme.linux.hu>. Closes: #51268
3056 - Fixed the undefined value problem in Kis's patch.
3057 - This also Closes: #37092 come to think of it.
3058 * dh_shlibdeps, dh_shlibdeps.1:
3059 - Added -X option, which makes it not examine some files. This is
3060 useful in rare cases. Closes: #51100
3061 - Always pass "-dDepends" before the list of files, which makes it
3062 easier to specify other -d parameters in the uparams, and doesn't
3063 otherwise change the result at all.
3065 - dh_installdebfiles is no longer a part of debhelper. This affects
3066 exactly one package in unstable, biss-awt, which has had a bug filed
3067 against it for 200+ days now asking that it stop using the program.
3068 dh_installdebfiles has been depreacted for nearly 2 years now..

3084 * dh_installchangelogs: to comply with policy, if it's told to act on a
3085 html changelog, it installs it as changelog.html.gz and dumps a plain
3086 text version to changelog.gz. The dumping is done with lynx.
3088 * Dh_Getopt.pm: Modified it so any options specified after -- are added to
3089 U_PARAMS. This means that instead of passing '-u"something nasty"' to
3090 dh_gencontrol and the like, you can pass '-- something nasty' without
3091 fiddling to get the quoting right, etc.

3130 packages to be built with correct dependancies. Closes: #36751

3184 * Added new dh_installxfonts script by Changwoo Ryu
3185 <cwryu@dor17988.kaist.ac.kr>. Closes: #46684
3186 I made some changes, though:
3187 - I rewrote lots of this script to be more my style of perl.
3188 - I removed all the verbisity from the postinst script fragment, since
3189 that is a clear violation of policy.
3190 - I made the postinst fail if the mkfontdir, etc commands fail, because
3191 this really makes more sense. Consider idempotency.
3192 - I moved the test to see if the font dir is really a directory into the
3193 dh_ script and out of the snippet. If the maintainer plays tricks on
3194 us, mkfontdir will blow up satisfactorally anyway.
3195 - So, the snippet is 9 lines long now, down from 20-some.
3196 - I realize this isn't following the reccommendations made in Brando^Hen's
3197 font policy. I'll fight it out with him. :-)
3198 - In postrm fragment, used rmdir -p to remove as many parent directories
3200 - s:/usr/lib/X11/:/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/:g

3242 you try to build binary-indep and binary-arch targets in the same make
3243 run. Make tries to be too smart. Modified the file so it will work,
3244 though it's now uglier. Closes: 46287
3245 * examples/*: It's important that one -not- use a install-stamp target.
3246 Install should run every time binary-* calls it. Otherwise if a binary-*
3247 target is called twice by hand, you get duplicate entries in the
3248 maintainer script fragment files. Closes: #46313

3364 For the most part, this was a straight-forward substitution,
3365 dh_installmanpages needed a non-obvious change though.
3366 * Closes: #42489, #42587, #41732.
3367 * dh_installdocs: Adds code to postinst and prerm as specified in
3368 http://www.debian.org/Lists-Archives/debian-ctte-9908/msg00038.html,
3369 to make /usr/doc/<package> a compatability symlink to
3370 /usr/share/doc/<package>. Note that currently if something exists in
3371 /usr/doc/<package> when the postinst is run, it will silently not make
3372 the symlink. I'm considering more intellingent handing of this case.
3373 * Note that if you build a package with this version of debhelper, it will
3374 use /usr/share/man, /usr/share/doc, and /usr/share/info. You may need to
3375 modify other files in your package that reference the old locations.

3385 * debhelper.1: mentioned above technique.
3386 * examples/rules.multi: use the above method to get rid of -i's and -a's.
3387 * examples/rules.multi2: new file, example of a multi-binary package that
3388 works for arch-indep and arch-dependant packages, and also allows

3390 targets. It accomplishes all this using only one list of debhelper

3549 there (and won't until people come up with a general transition strategy or

3696 * dh_fixperms: Do not use chmod/chown -R at all anymore, instead it uses
3697 the (slower) find then chown method. Necessary because the -R methods will
3698 happyily attempt to chown a dangling symlink, which makes them fail.

3713 This is an experimental change, one problem is if your man page isn't
3714 already gzip-9'd, it will be in violation of policy. (closes: #38673)

3762 only the above bugfix and a few more dh_link tests.

4073 * autoscripts/*menu*: It turns out that "command" is like test -w, it will
4074 still return true if update-menus is not executable. This can
4075 legitimatly happen if you are upgrading the menu package, and it makes
4076 postinsts that use command fail. Reverted to using test -x. Packages
4077 built with debhelper >= 1.2.21 that use menus should be rebuilt.

4083 * dh_fixperms: linux 2.1.x and 2.2.x differ from earlier versions in that
4084 they do not clear the suid bit on a file when the owner of that file
4085 changes. It seems that fakeroot behaves the same as linux 2.1 here. I
4086 was relying on the old behavior to get rid of suid and sgid bits on files.

4109 debhelper (1.2.21) unstable; urgency=low
4111 * dh_installdocs: Added doc-base support, if debian/<package>.doc-base
4112 exists, it will be installed as a doc-base control file. If you use this,
4113 you probably want to add "dh_testversion 1.2.21" to the rules file to make
4114 sure your package is built with a new enough debhelper.
4115 * dh_installdocs: now supports -n to make it not modify postinst/prerm.
4116 * dh_suidregister: turned off leading 0/1 in permissions settings, until
4117 suidregister actually supports it.
4118 * autoscripts/*: instead of "text -x", use "command -v" to see if various
4119 binaries exist. This gets rid of lots of hard-coded paths.

4132 * dh_listpackages: new command. Takes the standard options taken by other
4133 debhelper commands, and just outputs a list of the binary packages a
4134 debhelper command would act on. Added because of bug #30626, and because
4135 of wn's truely ugly use of debhelper internals to get the same info (and
4136 because it's just 4 lines of code ;-).
4137 * dh_compress: is now smart about compressing files that are hardlinks.
4138 When possible, will only compress one file, delete the hardlinks, and
4139 re-make hardlinks to the compressed file, saving some disk space.

4153 it will work on libraries with a major but no minor version in their
4154 filename (examples of such: libtcl8.0.so.1, libBLT-unoff.so.1)

4167 I have looked and it doesn't seem this will actually affect any packages
4168 in debian. This is useful only if you want to use dh_installdocs and not
4169 dh_fixperms, and that's the only time this behavior change will have any
4170 effect, either. (#30118)

4305 reason is this: if you're using suidmanager, and you want a file that
4306 ships suid to never be suid on your system, shipping it suid in the .deb
4307 will create a window where it is suid before suidmanager fixes it's
4308 permissions. This change should be transparent to users and developers.

4323 (as yet unreleased) xbase. Now a new dh_installwm program handles
4324 registration of a window manager and the necessary modifications to
4325 postinst and postrm. It's safe to go ahead and start using this for your
4326 window manager packages, just note that it won't do anything until the new
4327 xbase is out, and that due to the design of register-window-manager, if
4328 your wm is installed before a xbase that supports register-window-manager
4329 is installed, the window manager will never be registered. (#20971)

4366 sections of shared libraries.

4368 as additional command line arguments by all debhelper commands. This in
4369 useful in some situations, for example, if you need to pass -p to all
4370 debhelper commands that will be run. If you use DH_OPTIONS, be sure to
4371 use dh_testversion 1.1.17 - older debhelpers will ignore it and do
4372 things you don't want them to.

4565 appropriate. Also corrected a host of little errors.

4694 * I'd like to thank Len Pikulski and Igor Grobman at nothinbut.net for
4695 providing me with free internet access on a moment's notice, so I could
4696 get this package to you after hacking on it all over New England for the
4697 past week. Thanks, guys!
4699 * Added dh_debstd, which mimics the functionality of the debstd command.
4700 It's not a complete nor an exact copy, and it's not so much intended to
4701 be used in a debian/rules file, as it is to be run by hand when you are
4702 converting a package from debstd to debhelper. "dh_debstd -v" will
4703 output the sequence of debhelper commands that approximate what debstd
4704 would do in the same situation.
4705 * dh_debstd is completly untested, I don't have the source to any packages
4706 that use debstd available. Once this is tested, I plan to release
4708 * Added a from-debstd document that gives a recipe to convert from debstd
4710 * dh_fixperms: can now use -X to exclude files from having their
4711 permissions changed.
4712 * dh_testroot: test for uid == 0, instead of username == root, becuase
4713 some people enjoy changing root's name.
4714 * dh_installinit: handle debian/init.d as well as debian/init files,
4715 for backwards compatability with debstd. Unlike with debstd, the two
4716 files are treated identically.
4717 * dh_lib, PROGRAMMING: added "warning" function.
4718 * Minor man page fixes.
4719 * dh_compress: don't bomb out if usr/doc/<package> is empty. (#23054)

4730 exclude, without all the bother of a debian/compress script. You can
4731 use -X multiple times, too.

5038 of the shared library if it is guessed incorrectly.
5039 * Added dh_testversion to let your package depend on a certian version of
5041 * dh_{installdirs,installdocs,installexamples,suidregieter,undocumented}:
5042 behavior modification - any files/directories specified on the command
5043 line now apply to the first package acted on. This may not be the
5044 first package listed in debian/control, if you use -p to make it act on
5045 a given package, or -i or -a.
5046 * If you take advantage of the above new behavior, I suggest you add
5047 "dh_testversion 0.50" to your debian/rules.
5048 * Display a warning message in cases where the above behavior is triggered,
5049 and debhelper's behavior has altered.
5050 * I have grepped debian's source packages, and I'm quite sure this
5051 is not going to affect any packages currently in debian.
5052 * dh_lib: isnative() now caches its return value, which should optimize
5053 away several more calls to dpkg-parsechangelog.
5054 * README: explain a way to embed debhelper generated shell script into a
5056 * dh_installinit: A hack to work around the problem in getopt(1) that
5057 led to bug report #16229: Any text specified on the command line that is
5058 not a flag will be presumed to be part of the -u flag. Yuck.

5080 * dh_lib: use dpkg-parsechangelog instead of parsing it by hand. This
5081 makes a package build slower (by about 30 seconds, on average), so
5082 I might remove it or optimize it if too many people yell at me. :-)

5129 * dh_lib: don't expand text passed to doit() a second time. This fixes
5130 #15624, and hopefully doesn't break anything else.
5131 * A side effect of this (of interest only to the debhelper programmer) is
5132 that doit() can no longer handle complex commands now. (ie, pipes, `;',
5133 `&', etc separating multiple commands, or redirection)
5134 * dh_makeshlibs, dh_md5sums, dh_installdebfiles, dh_du, dh_clean,
5135 dh_installdirs: don't pass complex commands to doit().

5213 them. This lets me clean up several nasty areas where I had to echo the
5214 commands once, and then run them seperatly.

5304 package, it is installed as TODO. If the package is not a native package,
5305 it is installed as TODO.Debian.

5307 debian/README.debian.
5308 * Added dh_undocumented program, which can set up undocumented.7 symlinks.
5309 * Moved dh_installdebfiles to come after dh_fixperms in the example rules
5310 files. (dh_installdebfiles makes sure it installs things with the proper
5311 permissions, and this reorganization makes the file a bit more flexable
5312 in a few situations.)

5358 * dh_installdebfiles: only pass ELF files to dpkg-shlibdeps, and pass .so
5361 * dh_compress: changed behavior - debian/compress script is now run inside
5362 the package build directory it is to act on.
5363 * Added dh_lib symlink in debian/ so the debhelper apps used in this
5364 package's debian/rules always use the most up-to-date db_lib.
5365 * Changed dh_cleantmp commands in the examples rules files to dh_clean.
